Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a terrific mystery-thriller and one of this year's best dramas

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2012)

When it was announced that David Fincher would be re-adapting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo there was a split in the fan base of both the book and the 2009 Swedish film directed by Niels Arden Oplev. While it was a fairly controversial move, the fans began to become more and more interested as Daniel Craig was cast as Mikael Blomkvist and the lesser known Rooney Mara was cast as Lisbeth Salander. Ever since the promotion of the film ramped up a few months ago fans have become anxious to see if this film can live up to both the book and the original film. Does Fincher bring an interesting dynamic to the international best seller or is Hollywood just taking advantage of the loyal fan base and cashing a check?
