The film is a crime drama about a journalist named Mikael Blomkvist (Micheal Nyqvist) who gets sent to prison due to being set up by a billionaire named Hans-Erik Wennerstrom. Before he is sent away, he is asked by a famous family to search for women named Harriet who disappeared in the 1960's. The search turns into more then it was going to be with twists all around and a very cool computer hacker named Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace) who comes in to help.
The best thing about the film is the originality of the film. The plot is really interesting in many ways and it makes you think in all sorts of ways. Adding to it, the characters are all pretty cool. Noomi Rapace as Libson is great all around and adding Micheal Nyqvist as Mikael, makes a good team. Both of them do some very good things in this film. Going more in depth with these leads, they are flawless characters who are also interesting and they have good chemistry together. The characters move the film in the right direction and make the movie worthwhile and interesting. The film also has an ending like "The Silence of the Lambs" that does more then it needs to do but that is ok because everything else is great. It is an ending that leaves everything on a good note and makes you think more about the film and also makes you want even more of the film. Once again, I thought the material was flawless and that this was a great film.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one series that is going to be hard to look at because this original was so great. Sure, it has some questionable scenes that are not very realistic but for the most part it is great in so many ways due to great characters, great plot, the attention to detail and a flawless ending. No matter how the remakes is, the original is will be one of my favorite foreign films of all-time.
See it.
