This is the 2nd time I've seen this film, the first at Frightfest last year. We do tend to go and see some of the films a 2nd time, but only the good ones!
And I thought this was a great film. A top thriller well acted and well scripted and a good solid story. It is quite obvious in places where it will all end up. But it's a good trip and the 152 minutes do fly by!
This is the start of a trilogy concerning the main two characters Blomkvist and Lisbeth and I'm hoping we do get to see them.
American is on the remake path with these films, listed as 2012 on IMDB for the first one.
Overall I enjoyed it as much the 2nd time round (10/10)
Second time round I think was better than the first and it was a great film then. One of the best films at Fright fest last year(hope they get one of the sequels this year). A dark thriller in the same vein as seven and the like (except the landscape isn't as dreary, a little bleak with all the snow but not as drab). It is a very character driven piece and will take you to some dark places away from the the overall plot. It could have been it's downfall - too many things happeneing but no it doesn't distract in anyway only adds to the story 10/10
