Yeah, it is a pretty good soundtrack, in fact after watching the movie, I stayed for the final credits just to find out who did the soundtrack. I wasn't familiar with the name (Clint Mansell), but I realise now that I am familiar with (and enjoyed) much of his previous work. (Not quite so impressed with the film, I was really looking forward to it, but I found it a little predictable with some unanswered loose ends. Having said that, Sam Rockwell's performance(s) is/are excellent, I very much like the style of the film, and there are some nice warm 'human' touches to the plot. For what it's worth, I prefered 'Sunshine'.)
