The Review

This movie is based on a novel by Stieg Larsson, and I’ve yet to read it.

But if based by watching this film alone, it has all the elements of a great mystery thriller.

The quest to find the truth behind the murdered girl in question in the movie will unravel twist and turns, and excitement ensues.

Trust me you’ll love this if you’re into such suspense.

The Good

• Brilliant movie pacing
• Excellent acting all-around

The Bad

• Graphical violent scenes, you’ve been warned
