Synopsis
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her beloved uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and the tattooed and troubled but resourceful computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) to investigate. When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger’s are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves. —SXSW

I agree with Christopher A. Cook in the post down here. At times I felt it too much forced, like a "need-to-be-a-detective" film. I must say (very personally), Fincher's depiction of clues, circumstances, violence and psychological perspectives of atmospheres and characters is just priceless. Maybe I'm too fan of Fincher, I dunno, I don't care, I enjoyed his version a thousand times more. Sail away! Sail away! ;)

Still... this original swedish version was astonishing, great, a well-deserved swedish classic of modern thriller. But meh! I prefer Fincher's :P

A "need-to-be-a-detective" film? The same thing can be said of Fincher's version, which barely improve anything.

I really didn't enjoy this movie, although it may suffer from the fact I saw the remake first. I found the pacing awful, the cinematography ranged from pretty good to atrocious, and many of the actors had little to no personality, especially Nyqvist, couldn't stand him. There are many times where an entire scene is simply calling to get information, they get information, end of scene, which is boring to watch.
