Fincher, Rooney and Reznor (music) steal the show!

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2012)

With the prior movie still fresh in our minds, a remake is always a difficult task. Though Fincher pulls it off quite nicely. Somewhere the film loses the flavor or this is just my perception as Fincher has raised the expectations bar through his previous works.
Rooney Mara is sensational and intense! My choice for the best actress in a leading role at Oscar.
This dark and disturbing film has the potential to break the mold and be accepted as a stand alone work! Go watch it for Larsson's thrilling story, Fincher's style, Rooney's performance, Reznor's background score and the beautiful cinematography!
