The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev
Harriet Vanger disappeared 40 years ago on the island owned by her powerful family. Believing she was murdered, her uncle hires journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace, PROMETHEUS) to investigate. When the duo link Harriet’s disappearance to a series of grotesque murders, they begin to unravel a dark family history. But the Vangers will stop at nothing to protect themselves. This 2009 Swedish adaptation of the first book in Stieg Larsson’s hit trilogy is a far darker take than the US remake, while Rapace makes a superb Salander.
Noomi Rapace plays Lisbeth Salander in the grisly Swedish adaptation of the beloved dark thriller.
Cast: Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Ewa Fröling

Absolutely stunning film. Definitely a must-watch, subtitles and all
Love this movie. I do not do subtitles that much, but this one I seen three times now.
Read the book before watching this film and prefer the book. The film I thought was a fairly a good representation of the book. Well done and liked the main actors.
I mean, it’s all subjective I suppose. I guess I just prefer to watch Swedish rather than American. Fincher’s the superior filmmaker otherwise.
All 4 of these films are fantastic, but I recommend reading the Millenium Trilogy before watching the 3 currently available here so you get the benefit of the extra details and scenes that didn't make their way to the final cuts.
