Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The

An enthralling, gripping, well-acted, disturbing, complex thriller in which a tenacious, savvy journalist (Michael Nyqvist) in Stockholm becomes an unlikely partner with a spirited, hard-edged, tattooed, pierced, Goth security firm researcher (Noomi Rapace), who gives her masochistic, nasty probation officer/guardian (Peter Andersson) a taste of his own abuse, when an 82-year-old wealthy Swedish businessman (Sven-Bertil Taube) hires the writer to find his estranged niece (Ewa Fröling) who disappeared 40 years earlier after he suspects someone from his dysfunctional family (Peter Haver, Gösta Bredefeldt, Marika Lagercrantz, Gunnel Lindblom, Willie Andréason, et al.) may be involved.
