A very fitting cinematic compliment to Larsson's outstanding first book in what came to be known as the Millennium Trilogy, published a few months after his untimely death, at fifty-years-old. While a few key elements and plot specifics were left from the script, this film is very well-made and remains engaging throughout its two hours-plus. There is a slow, brooding pace that caters faithfully to the subject matter, all the way to the conclusion. Recommended viewing; and, hopefully, intriguing enough to inspire viewers to go out and find the book.

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her beloved uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed and troubled but resourceful computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link the disappearance of Harriet to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. The Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

well finally i saw this much talked about and hyped Swedish movie of past year. i was so excited and was glad that finally i was seeing it. i am not sure about watching the rest of the two movies, they weren't well recieved with critics and i have to watch some more foreign language movies and that will increase the burden so. watching this movie was all the good buzz and ofcourse there is gonna be a Hollywood remake of it directed by David Fincher. well i must say all the buzz arround this movie was worth it man. i should tell you that this movie is now one of my most favorite movie of past years and among the foreign language movies i have seen.

i haven't read the novel on which this movie is based but it must be phenomenol. this marks Second Swedish movie i have seen after Let The Right One In, which again was awsome. well this movie stars Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace. Noomi's character was outstanding, her get up was superb and her performance was amazing. this movie was little but uneasy to watch because of the female abuse and stuff. i must say this movie was extremely edgy and very thrilling. it had the chilling effect on me. phenomenol movie and a near perfect modern classic.
