Inventive, clever and enthralling couldn't look away

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2011)

Heard about the books and decided the original Swedish film will be more interesting with English dubbing. The filmmaker captures the engaging inventive story and handles the rape scene, sexual interactions and violence with sharp execution and the scenes emerge as a surprise to the viewer. They represent an integral part of the plot and character development as their stories unfold and you choose what to believe.
With a backdrop of a Sweden where the crimes covered in the story seem out of place with the generally held view of a calm orderly civil society. The depth of sadism and violence surprise and the imagination of the author know no bounds. The rest of the trilogy await with anticipation and some excitement.
