CGiii Comment
Part 1 of the Millenium Trilogy...the first thing you will notice is that the cinematography is perfection.
The next thing you'll notice is...this is a bloody good story with top-notch performances.
And, it will be re-made - for sure - because it really is that good.
Any bets as to the quality of the USA re-make?!?

The(ir) Blurb...
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle suspects murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history; but, the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
