The Swedish film version of the book turns out to be a bit more faithful and satisfying than the Hollywood version. The length gives the story the time it deserves to unfold.It's easy to see why Rapace was able to build an international film career off the back of it. Although posing as a solid Scandi-noir mystery thriller, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is really an extremely effective vehicle for introducing us to Lisbeth Salander - an emotionally unavailable, yet vulnerable hyper-violent hacker.
She's never less than compelling to watch.
Verdict: Good adaptation of the best book in the series.
