The film was released on only two screens in New York today and premiered "on demand". I watched it on Amazon. Desplat's score is effective but low-key, sounds a bit like a quieter cousin to his score for "The Ghost Writer". There are a number of nice suspense cues for the numerous scenes where Thompson and Gleeson are leaving their postcards all over Berlin, and also some quieter, more contemplative pieces, including some nice piano cues. Although the film is in English, it's a German production. Sadly, there seems to have been no release of the score anywhere, not even Germany, where it was released last fall under the far more poetic title of the original novel, Every Man Dies Alone. This is definitely a minor work from Desplat, but I still hope someone rescues it from oblivion and gives it at least a digital release.
