Rough But Good

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2012)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is quite excellent. I really had no desire to see this movie, and had little idea to what it was about. Fortunately, this film turned out to be beyond my expectations.
Rooney Mara is absolutely fabulous in this flick.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is intense, intriguing, vulgar, disturbing, dark, a mystery, and entertaining. What more can you ask for in a movie?! I would definitely recommend this movie to others who enjoy the mystery/suspense genre, however because of the vulgar/disturbing aspects of this film, it may not be for everyone (certainly NOT children).
This movie is long (2 hrs 37 min), although it didn't feel like it. I was very much wrapped up in the mystery/characters/storyline that the time flew by. I look forward to seeing the other movies in the series!
