See Daniel Craig with his 3-day beard growth

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2012)

I rented a DVD of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because of some good reviews. I had planned to see the Swedish versions as well. No more. I had planned to read the book trilogy. No more. Daniel Craig did a good job. The title character, his assistant, the girl with the tattoos and facial piercings was too bizarre to be believable. There were too many scenes of sex and torture. The plot also was bizarre. The author's anti- Nazi bias was evident. I don't recommend the film. I rated it at 6* only because of the good photography and acting by Daniel Craig. Instead,see the similar film, Ne le dis à personne (France, 2006) 8* AKA Tell No One, for a better film with a sympathetic protagonist.
