A Swedish cinematic trilogy which was a great hit in its country and we can understand why. Americans feel obliged to remake these foreign gems with often unfortunate results, but not this time. My state of mind after seeing this film in one word: WOW! An extraordinary film on so many levels. A mysterious modern whodunit in which the story is peeled away one layer at a time, without revealing the rest to come. An almost futurist thriller, where the new information technologies are center stage. An imagery of reality in the raw. Complex and vulnerable characters. Fast paced action which keeps you riveted to the screen for more than 2 hours. And what can be said of this resilient character, Lisabeth, the girl with the dragon tattoo who dominates all her scenes in a role which surely will mark cinematic history for years to come, no less. Even Daniel Craig earns my kudos for his role. There are so many ways to appreciate this film that I’ll probably go back for a second viewing while it is still in the theatres. It’s really that good. Six weeks after its release and the theatre is sold out, a rare feat nowadays. Truly a standout film. LATER After 8 weeks, the theatre is still full. In this 2nd viewing, I caught up with what I missed first time around. Loved it again. The DVD will join my permanent collection. Can't wait now for the sequels.
