Hey Ron -- This sounds good to me, but please know this is not my area of expertise whatsoever. I watched this video by Dave Kropf a while back that you may find helpful to add a few more interesting elements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpBm3PIMJTI Hope that helps, and nice work!

Sounds good, I've got a couple of recommendations.

* Automate a fade into the pulsing track for the first two measures of the intro, either with volume or with an High Pass filter
* End the track on the downbeat with one of the impact sounds you used early, to give a solid ending.
* When the piano comes in, drop the level of the main pulsing track a few dB, get it out of the way a little for the other elements.
* Try to find a place for an edit point.. have the music stop on the downbeat and ring out for a single measure, perhaps right before the impact at 1:07.

This sounds like a good crime tension underscore to me.
