The film based on the first book in Stieg Larsson's bestselling trilogy is showing at select theaters across America. See link for detailed show times, listings and trailer. Winner of several awards in Europe, the film has been reviewed as “…devastating, suspenseful, and satisfying on screen” (Paper Magazine) but just might leave some Salander loyalists with a bit of a disappointed feeling. Danish director Niels Arden Oplev has created an intelligent adaptation in this suspenseful film but, as is often the case, falls short of fully doing justice to the few in-depth characters of the book.
Michael Nyqvist plays disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and up-and-coming actress Noomi Rapace plays pierced and tattooed computer wiz Lisbeth Salander, who teams up with Blomkvist to solve a murder mystery.
