Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2012)

David Fincher already accustomed his public to both quality and mediocrity. Specially since The Social Network about Facebook, perhaps the most overrated movie of all time. Anyway, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo already existed, written by a Sewdish writer, Stieg Larsson. The title wasn't chosen by Finch but that doesn't exculpate it from its huge stupidity. The story is also very poor and uninteresting, but Fincher gets away with it thanks to three or four aspects: Daniel Craig, like him or not, he's good; Rooney Mara, she's a stunning performance, perhaps the real deal boosting her to a big career and Lisbeth Salander, a great inspiring character, quite implausible situation when you meet her the first time. Fincher leaves there a window of curiosity opened. I doesn't seem like his remaking the following two parts of the trilogy, and there's quite well evaluated Swedish version of it. Just to end in some sort of summary, Mikael (Daniel Craig) is a journalist hired to solve a case of a teenage disappearance and requests the help of Lesbeth (Rooney Mara), this severally troubled woman detached from society, but with great informatic skills especially when it comes to hacking. 7/10
