A Movie That Just Stays With You Whether You Like It Or Not

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2016)

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen when you finish watching this movie you will feel violated. That is a positive that a movie can stay with you and leave that impression with you weeks even months after watching it. A lot of that is due to David Finchers direction he doesn't hold back in the violent and disturbing scenes and moments he leaves the viewer to just look and it shows how much he respects the viewer to take it. This movie looks stunning especially in the snowy landscapes that are just amazing to look at and allows you to take in the atmosphere that is being created. The performances in this movie are some of the best that Fincher has ever produced with Rooney Mara absolutely stealing the show she's amazing in this movie and gave one of the best performances I've ever seen and should have taken home the Oscar for her performance but her performance depends on her chemistry with Daniel Craig and they have fantastic chemistry with each other because you feel as if they are themselves when they're together. Daniel Criag and Christopher Plummer still pull their wait in the movie and are both fantastic in their respective roles. First and foremost this is an investigation movie so that investigation has to be compelling and it absolutely is like so many of Finchers previous films you absolutely get invested in the mystery and are desperate to find out who it is allowing the user to try and guess the murderer on their own. My biggest and really only issue with the movie is the ending. Not the ending to the mystery no that's a great reveal but I have always thought that Lisbeth suddenly falling in love with Michel because it just feels out of place with the rest of her character arc and leaves you some what unsatisfied. Other than that I absolutely adore this movie and I really wished than the other two in the trilogy would have been made by Fincher. 96%-A
