Citizen Vigilante is a 2026 action thriller written, produced, and directed by Uwe Boll, starring Armie Hammer as Michael Sanders alongside Costas Mandylor, Neb Chupin, and Vjekoslav Katusin. The film — originally titled The Dark Knight before a Warner Bros. cease-and-desist prompted the change — follows an American businessman living in Croatia who becomes a masked vigilante. That’s the story in brief; from here, this guide focuses entirely on the film’s music.
The score is the work of Italian composer Rodolfo Matulich, whose credit as the film’s sole music author is confirmed across trade and industry listings. An official soundtrack album — 14 tracks released by Soul Trade Music Publishing Group on July 7, 2026 — is now available to stream. Below you’ll find the verified tracklist, composer background, and where to listen.

Citizen Vigilante Soundtrack Overview
The music for Citizen Vigilante is an original film score composed by Rodolfo Matulich. It functions as a traditional thriller score built to underline tension rather than a song-driven soundtrack, and the film leans on Matulich’s original cues rather than a lineup of licensed pop or rock tracks.
An official soundtrack album has since been released: Soul Trade Music Publishing Group issued the 14-track digital album on July 7, 2026, roughly three weeks after the film’s theatrical and VOD debut. The release is confirmed via FMDB (primary source, UPC 3618113729120) and cross-referenced against Film Music Reporter, and is available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music.
The score’s reception has been mixed. Some critics singled out the music as heavy-handed, describing it as insistent during the film’s more drawn-out sequences — a notable point given how central the score is to the film’s mood in the absence of a licensed-song soundtrack.

Who Composed the Citizen Vigilante Soundtrack?
The Citizen Vigilante score was composed by Rodolfo Matulich, an Italian composer credited as the film’s sole music author in the production’s crew listing.
Matulich is a classically trained musician who holds a background in piano and composition. Over his career he has been associated with major music publishers, and his catalog spans film scoring, orchestral work, and solo piano recordings — including the solo-piano release Crystal’s Dreams and orchestral soundtrack material recorded with a symphony orchestra. He has also composed sacred and ceremonial music during his career.
Within film and screen work, Matulich is known for titles such as Paradise Valley (2022) and Scarlett (2018), and his credits also include Italian productions. Citizen Vigilante stands as his highest-profile screen credit to date, given the film’s unusually large public profile. He also has additional screen work listed in post-production, indicating an ongoing output beyond this project.

Score Highlights
With the official 14-track album now released, several cues stand out by title and placement within the runtime.
- “Sander’s Theme” (5:24) is the character theme for Armie Hammer’s Michael Sanders and, alongside “Messages” (5:33), one of the album’s two longest cues — suggesting it anchors the score’s central musical identity for the vigilante himself.
- “Citizen Vigilante” (1:48) is the title track, a compact cue that likely functions as the score’s core motif in its most concentrated form.
- “Swat Kill” (3:47) and “Special Team Arrives” (2:26) map directly to the film’s Special Intervention Unit raid sequence, in which Sanders barricades himself inside a container before a shootout with police.
- “Henry’s Theme” (2:07) is a character cue for Costas Mandylor’s Interpol chief, mirroring “Sander’s Theme” as the score’s other named character portrait.
Note: Scene-level interpretations above are inferred from track titles and runtime placement; they have not been independently confirmed by a primary production source.

Citizen Vigilante Licensed Songs / Needle Drops
No licensed songs or needle drops have been officially confirmed for Citizen Vigilante. Song-identification and film-music databases do not list any credited commercial tracks for the title, and the film appears to rely on Rodolfo Matulich’s original score rather than licensed music.
A brief, unverified claim about appearing on the film’s soundtrack circulated on social media, but it cannot be matched to any official credit or release and is therefore not treated here as a confirmed needle drop. If verified licensed-song information becomes available, it will be added.
