About this movie

Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) accepts an invitation to surreptitiously investigate a forty year old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim's uncle, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). Meanwhile, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), hired to investigate Blomkvist, discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to his fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers a secret history of murder and sexual abuse festering beneath the veneer of Sweden's industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both. © 2011 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc.

I had to watch this film twice just to (almost) understand it!!! The film is really disjointed, the plot doesn't add up and you lose track throughout it. It's difficult to watch Daniel Craig now and not think of him as Bond. Other reviewers have said there's an original subtitled version of this film, and also a book which are apparently better. I can understand why they must have been disappointed. However, it's still an interesting film, not sure if I'd watch the other 2 films in this trilogy though.

A rare swing-and-a-miss from Director David Fincher. A pale imitation of the infinitely superior original Millennium trilogy, plus Rooney Mara's haircut and overall style as Lisbeth is soooo wrong...

Richly imagined, stunningly crafted, superbly detailed, and tenderly acted. This movie has no faults. You barely even notice Craig's cunning employment of real British accent among a cast of accomplished vocal talents.
