The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011)

Fincher’s film follows the Swedish original quite closely, which is a good thing, as the foreign trilogy is pretty awesome. It was smart to keep the remake in Scandinavia, as opposed to trying to rework it for an American setting. Fincher’s version is very crisp, precise, and well edited. Like all his work. The story is a little easier to follow. I think I was lost for the first half of the Swedish film.

Enjoyed the choice of casting. Solid all around. I may have enjoyed this more if I didn’t already know the outcome.
