Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) accepts an invitation to surreptitiously investigate a forty year old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim's uncle, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). Meanwhile, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), hired to investigate Blomkvist, discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to his fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers a secret history of murder and sexual abuse festering beneath the veneer of Sweden's industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both.

Sean Axmaker

... the American screen adaptation of the Swedish bestseller directed by David Fincher and scripted by Steve Zaillian, is a darker, richer, more compelling adaptation than the original Swedish version.

The 2.5-hour runtime flies by, but you won't even notice because Mara's outstanding performance is simply that mesmerizing.

Joe Lipsett

A cold, captivating rape revenge thriller that is more measured than its Swedish counterpart. Anchored by a stunning performance by Mara, the plot is as convoluted as its source material, but Fincher makes this eminently watchable.
