Starring; Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace
Year; 2009
Genre; Drama
Release; UK Momentum Blu Ray
Drama based on the first of Stieg Larssons trilogy of novels, centred around Lisbeth. The story deals, if anything, more with the reporter, Mikael Blomkvist, and his attempts to find out what happened to a missing girl, in the 60's. Rapace plays the titular character extremely well, as does Nyqvist in his role. A properly excellent film, that manages to overcome the problem many Scandinavian dramas have, that of slow pace and dullness. Just as it seems it might slip into there, the film picks itself up, and moves along. Watch this, and not the impending, inevitable, Hollywood remake. They will fuck it up.
