Fincher creates a nice dark atmosphere

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2012)

This version of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (the original released in 2009) adopts its own look and feel. The actors bring different variations to their roles and didn't copy what the original cast had done. This was no easy task and they pulled it off.
The same could be said for David Fincher as the director of this recent version. He took the original and made it his own. Fincher is really good at this stuff. He did a great job of giving the look a dark, cloudy foreboding feeling, thanks to the phenomenal photography of Jeff Cronenweth.
It seemed like he brought in the Zodiac style, and that's a good thing. The music is by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross constant and foreboding and blend very well with the style and pacing.
Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and the rest of the cast were all well underplayed. A special nod to actor, Christopher Plummer, who seems to keep your eyes on him in every scene that he is in.
