The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Lisbeth Salander has got to be one of the most riveting, intriguing, fierce and complex heroines I’ve seen in a while. And you know what? I root for Team Lisbeth! She is an integral part of this who-dunnit, taken from the book of the same name and the 2009 Swedish movie adaptation.

A rich businessman requires the services of journalist Mikael Blomkvist to solve the 40 year old murder of his niece. Blomkvist and Salander are thrown into a damaged family of incestuous creeps, liars, killers and Nazis. 

The excellent cinematography is juxtaposed between a bleak wintry Sweden, and the warm hued past.

Now this is how a murder mystery flick is done…and sjoe, to think it is a remake!  

Rating: 3 outta 5.
