Fans of Stieg Larsson's Men Who Hate Women on how the Swedish author of the novel would be to have deals to translate to the screen, but they need not fear. Significant changes have been made of the source material, but director Niels Arden Opley's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as it is called now, is often riveting. As the story begins, in middle age investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) is only a mock charge of defamation against hotshot was a rich and corrupt corporate if he is unexpectedly offered a most unusual concert convicted. An aging captain of industry named Henrik Vang (Sven-Bertil Taube) wants Blomkvist to find out what happened to Vang's niece, who disappeared more than 40 years ago not only the old man is convinced that she was murdered, but he suspected that another member of his large and rather unpleasant family (including several former Nazis) is the culprit. Blomkvist takes the job, which includes spending at least six months on an isolated island in the middle of winter, Vange. But he does not know is that it spied on by twentysomething Lisbeth Salander (Rapace Naomi brilliant in a career-making power play), the licensee Girl and the owner of a remarkable abilities as a detective and computer hackers. With their gothlike piercings and all-black clothes, Lisbeth is a living character to say the least. Even though we do not know, the details of their dark past, it obviously still assigned to her, yes, she has just passed a new "guards" (as a probation officer) to look for his finances and other matters. We also know that they are not Mess with someone, if the guardian turns out to be a thoroughly nasty monsters, Lisbeth get back to him in one of the sequences satisfying revenge of the recent past. The Mikael and Lisbeth was the end, the cooperation, and more, is not particularly surprising. But discovering the gruesome details and depths of depravity while they are working on the case (parallels to The Silence of the Lambs facile but adequate) and are definitely Opley has to keep a nice job it all straight. On more than two and a half hours the film is long, with its share of Grim, graphic and scary moments, but the girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a winner.
