The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

This is part 1 of a Trilogy, based on Swedish author Stieg Larsson's "Millennium Trilogy." An American version of the first film is currently under production. So - how's the Swedish version? It's very good! But be warned: there are several very rough scenes that were difficult for me to watch - the entire series is about "men who hate women" (i.e. abusing them sexually) - so these films definitely aren't for everyone. However, it had a classic mystery feel that had you guessing up until the very end. Almost Hitchcock-esque. I have heard from an unnamed source who read the novels that the first movie is better than the book! So, if you've read the novels or any of this sounds interesting to you - CHECK IT OUT!
