The girl with the dragon tattoo , the original and most powerful of the title was the men who hate women, begins with Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), investigative journalist devoted to exposing corporate crime is the imprisonment for libeling a wealthy tycoon. Unexpectedly, he receives a call from aristocratic industrial Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube) and combined in a luxurious country residence to be informed of the murder of the old man's niece, Harriet (Ewa Froling) in mid- 1960. His body was never found and nobody has ever been prosecuted: Blomkvist can you help?
Real help comes in the form of an androgynous, bisexual, computer-hacking twenties named Lisbeth Salander (Naomi Raptor). It's a mystery walk, tense, sensitive, able to fight. It is also, for reasons that are unclear at first economically dependent on a brute of a tutor. Share a hatred of old men whose ruthless power grab hold of money gives the lie to the fiction of Sweden as a utopian state, the odd couple embarks on a long campaign and especially to discover the exciting mystery behind the disappearance Harriet.
Raptor is the real star of the film, performing the action and the relevance of our attention much more than passive Nyqvist (literally so, as shown in a sex scene funny scratchingly head) and does not inhibit character. It is never more dangerous than when under attack, slamming a bottle on young people who attack the metro, take revenge against a clever bastards operate. Something happened - something that Larsson explains to readers in the following volumes of the trilogy Millennium -. What makes it difficult to know whether she suffers from Asperger syndrome What's going on in your head is real mystery of the film .
Racism, misogyny and patriarchy, globalization: the director Niels Arden Opley to give all those weighty themes, because they are here largely faithful adaptation that short-change the source text only little attention to long-term relationship worth Blomkvist male journalist in his diary. When it comes to the finger is a modern Sweden, shows that authors are people just as much as are the economic and political systems: the bad unquantifiably more harm than one might imagine, are blue and vibrant clan, rather than novel Winshaw family of Jonathan Coe What can you cut!, has poisoned the Swedish society for decades.
If that makes this drama, written by Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg, feeling a little synopsis, like the kind of curves and twisted saga and can not wait to see on television, probably because it was built from footage shot by two films. This means that, despite its dark subject, extends the configuration and surprising thriller or mystery to the effect that another Swedish movie, Let the Right One In, for the vampire movie genre.
However, the picture is still winter in the atmosphere, a feeling of being elected interesting cultural crusts, and total yield more exciting than anything you can think of Kristen Stewart, Natalie Portman, or one of Co-mentioned Raptor carries Hollywood's remake promised.
