The Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo (2009)
Based on the novel of
the same name this Swedish film from director Niels Arden Oplev stars
Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace. After losing a libel case a Swedish
journalist in employed to look into the disappearance of a girl 40
years ago by her rich uncle.
As a straight up crime
thriller this film works well and does not rely on any easy acts of
coincidence or the usual clichés that often litter the genre. What
the story does well is pose the question to what extent are those
that commit crimes responsible for their actions or does their up
bringing or society deserve the blame. Right from the start the film
goes to so really dark places but the juxtaposition of the title
character and the antagonist works really well to give the film some
depth.
4/5
