I thought they did a rather good job

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2012)

I have read the books and seen the Swedish movies.
you know when i first heard that there would be an American remake i thought it would be an action packed crap movie so i am a bit surprised that it isn't.
There are some extremely disturbing scenes in the movie and i feel that the Swedish version captured those a bit better. Overall acting was good, i thought Mara did a good job as Sahlander although Naomi Rapace was excellent and she will always be Sahlander.
I know some complains at the disturbing scenes in the movie and i feel they are even more disturbing in the Swedish version, but a movie that moves you in any sort of way, whether its disturbing, funny, romantic or in an angry way i think is reaching its goal. There are to many movies today where you can just sit and watch and it doesn't affect you at all in any sort of way.
Good job guys!
