Viewing Notes

I haven’t read the books and don’t know if I ever will.  As a movie, though, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a standard Thriller/Mystery held together with some tense scenes and a brilliant performance by Noomi Rapace.  David Fincher is involved with the remake, and I’m positive it’s not going to be as good as Niels Arden Oplev’s film.  Noomie Rapace has put such a stamp on the character, the American replacement will only be a caricature.
