No One is Innocent

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2014)

Innocence is a state we presume until further conviction, and for good reason. This notion of initial innocence is troubling in convoluted situations and potentially blinds us, though. Being afraid to question or inconvenience others is an act of courtesy and cooperation, but failure to do what's needed can also have dire consequences.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has some intricate characters with a great selection in cast. From the elusive Lisbeth to the spiteful Vanger family, the character growth and background surrounding each and every individual is intriguing. Not only are the actors and actresses strong in their respective roles, but the overall environment and atmosphere produced by each particular setting emphasizes the mystery and eeriness involved in every step that may be your last.
The detective work and plot development was interesting (though not necessarily new), but the cast making their parts unique and truly special makes this film one to watch. Immersing the viewer is one of the greatest achievements in film.
