Swedish novelist Stieg Larsson wrote a trilogy of books called "Millennium series" ,the first of which was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and all 3 novels were made into films and this one was directed by Swedish Director Niels Arden Oplev.That was in 2009 and this is the American re-make of that acclaimed novel and film.Not having seen that film or read the novel I was drawn to THIS film out of curiosity of the casting of a granddaughter Rooney Mara,of football royalty, in a major role and the Academy Awards nomination she received.BRAVO,but her grandfather name sakes are probably turning over in their graves.Not since " La Femme Nikita"has there been a nastier female role to play and play this one well is the main reason to see this 2011 release.I took 1 star of for low down and very rough dirty sex and length.The plot is also kinda hard to believe,a father and son family of serial killers and big time corporate greed and secrecy cloaked within a old family of Swedish WW11 Nazi collaborators.Kinda really out there BUT Rooney along with a fine turn by current "Bond"actor Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist ,pull it off.BE WARNED,its a very rough film and not for maybe half of you.Still,its gritty and a dirty pleasure and I be loving me some Rooney Mara about now :)
