The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

The girl with the Dragon tattoo is one hell of a thriller. If you havn't read the book, then this movie is for you. Rooney Mara is absolutely brilliant and so is Craig. Excellent movie overall.

Fincher returns to his dark roots with this film long after Seven. In this movie Fincher really played to his strengths. Up up its looks about a murder Mystery but it's not just about that it's about the Chemistry Rooney Mara's character Lisbeth and Daniel Craig's Character Mikael and how their odd strange relationship helps both of them as people. It's no Fincher's best but it is an excellent Detective Thriller with terrific editing and its score. Fincher is famous for his title sequences and this movies sequences sets the theme and the ton perfectly. it is slow burn but completely fast paced with full satisfaction. As compared to its Swedish counterpart this a technical masterpiece as Fincher is known for. The way it is shot is Mesmerizingly creepy each camera motion had its purpose.

One of the finest thrillers of all times. David Fincher shines yet again as he uses haunting locations and background score to add to the tension to an already engaging story line. The narrative and screenplay is really good and keeps you engaged. Another theme which this movie handles is the crime against women in Sweden and that too is handled with unsettling and disturbing truthfulness. Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig are really good in their roles. The hauntingly beautiful Headstead island is a character in itself as its location leave a mysterious effect. Everyone is a suspect in this engaging thriller with an unexpected ending that will leave you surprised. Go for it if you can handle some serious violence against women and enjoy this movie
