The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Funny seeing the film of a book so recently read. Good script stripping out a lot of the subplots, focussing on the central story of the mystery of the missing girl, Harriet.

Good casting of the crucial Lisbeth Salanders character (Noomi Rapace): she's believable and fascinating.

The theme of men's subjgation of women, and worse, is mirrored in Salander who becomes the avenging angel of abused women, taking on and vanquishing evil men. In this film, much more than the book we see the development of a dark female superhero.
