The Girl With The Dragon TattooThe main case is strong, enthralling and attractive keeping the viewers on hold on its route but the other two tracks of lead characters may come off as a bit tiresome and even dark sometimes. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is raw, perilous and jaw dropping as it captures some of the worst phases of humanity along with some genuine performances and unpredictable plotlines. David Fincher; as always, nails it when it comes to execute a mystery or crime features and has a powerful screenplay to support adapted by Steve Zaillian. Daniel Craig justifies his part but in here, Rooney Mara steals the show by giving an outstanding performance on her parallel role with him. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is slow and takes its time on building up the characters on screen in its first act and comes off strong on its second which is the best one and then dips down on its last one as it stretches its way down the road.

Sadly, the planned trilogy will never see the light of day but luckily this, what would have been a first instalment, is a phenomenal piece of film-making capable to stand up to the scrutiny of its remake status and failed franchise label. Its actually all the stronger for not feeling as though it must conform to convention or wrap itself up in a neat little bow - instead leaving some strands dangling, waiting for a sequel that will never come - but still feels entirely intentional and wholly complete. The beautiful compositions juxtapose the picture's underlying darkness, with the two-strand structure dancing delicately around its destructive characters and contemplative detective work, and there's a real sense of an ominous under-layer to even the most innocuous of moments, moments which are never far from ones of pure, unrelenting evil manifested in unexpected but eerily true-to-life ways. Riveting, unconventional work. 7/10

I watched this movie because Rooney Mara! And she doesn't let me down! Actually, when I was watching, I put more attention on her than whole story and I thought she is one of the most important reasons make this film great. Lisbeth Salander hides herself in a cold shell but she can be very sensitive deep in soul. Her superb skills give her a condition to live like that but she still needs to face evils alone. Hope life can treat these people with kind. Love Rooney Mara!!!

I wonder why directors or producers choose to make such terrible films. Films that have such perverse and sick scenes. The first part of this film was twisted, sick and terrible to watch. Even if the second half of the film seemed interesting the first was simply dreadful. Who in their right mind would enjoy it? When I spoke to friends about this film they said the novel and previous adaptations were pretty good and enjoyable. Puzzled, I told them what I just saw and they gasped. The events were twisted and quite degrading. Making a film with such lewd content and terrible scenes acts to undermine the quality and story of a film.This film is a definite past and not recommended at all. If you want to torture prisoners of war maybe show them this film, it will get the job done.
