Another Take: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) Review

By Paco McCullough

Snow falls on the cold streets of Stockholm as Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is convicted of libel against a prominent executive. Shamed and pressured into quitting his job, he gets a call from an old man, Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). Vanger wants Blomkvist to investigate the disappearance of his sixteen year old niece almost forty years older, and who's kidnapper sends him a rare flower every year. The suspects? The twenty or so family members who were on the island at the time.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) Review

By Jason Haskins

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book in the Millenium trilogy published posthumously by Stieg Larsson (his wife actually published ‘em). The trilogy continues with The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest—all growing to be international best sellers and spawning Swedish movies. This is David Fincher’s remake of the first film and book, of course, with his own take on the source material, which I’ve heard is different from both. (Editor's note- There are slight changes from the source material, but should be quite familiar to those with a previous telling of the story.)
