Matters move slowly as the lives of the two protagonists are peeled open and begin to intersect. The mystery too is layered and must be peeled and narrowed on bit by bit. Flashback scenes but especially photographs are used masterfully to map the journey of discovery, which was very well done. While all the actors and actresses were fabulous, special kudos should go to Rooney Mara for her portrayal of Lisbeth. The character's emotional scars, determination, disgust, her shield against the world were all masterfully presented. There better be a nomination for her! Just saying.Īnother bit that really stood out was how the one person all fingers easily pointed to as probably being the one guilty of the crime, the old reclusive Nazi uncle, turned out to probably be the best and friendliest of the Vanger family.
Nice to see them not fall to the old cliche. If you've seen the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo film, there were definitely differences though the crime and main points remains the same. One of the few times when the remake outdid the original, in my opinion.Īnd this version was much stronger both emotionally and graphically. Rating: 4 out of 5 ( Hubby's Rating: Worth Full Price and Seeing Again for Matinee) Overall, if you can stomach the graphic/implied content, a very worthwhile film. #Flower tucci music video whoop that trick full#.
