Robert W @RT34973803 5d The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Great Thriller, Insulting Ending The movie was gripping until the final five minutes. Then it completely imploded. After everything Lisbeth went through—the rape, the revenge, the slow trust she built with Mikael—she expresses her love by buying him a leather jacket. She shows up to give it to him... and sees him cozying up with another woman. That's it. She throws the jacket in the trash and rides away. Are you kidding me? This woman hacked into banks, killed a serial killer, and saved his career—and the best they can give her is a humiliating rejection? He didn't even deserve her. After all that buildup, the movie punishes her for caring. It wasn't bittersweet. It was lazy, cruel, and ruined everything that came before it.

Even so, the movie works as a thriller in parts, and the longer it lingers in your head, the better it gets. A good one overall, though it definitely could’ve been tenser.

Director David Fincher’s neo-noir mystery thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) is now my favorite film from Fincher. I was genuinely disturbed and upset after seeing this film when it first released, but it was burned into my brain. I gave it another chance and I see it as very feminist and sympathetic to abused women. Daniel Craig is excellent as investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist. He is cautious, smart, and still somewhat sleazy. Rooney Mara is simply astounding as the Goth hacker and misanthrope Lisbeth Salander. I felt immense sympathy for her constantly abused character, who becomes a merciless heroine. Mara is incredibly brave to take on such a brutal role. I actually think The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is her finest performance as an actress. In all, Rooney Mara is phenomenal and deserves the world. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 10 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a very gripping and well-crafted thriller that stands out for its dark atmosphere, complex storytelling, and strong performances. From the start, the film pulls you into a cold, unsettling mystery that slowly builds tension without losing momentum. Daniel Craig delivers a solid performance as the determined journalist, but it’s Rooney Mara who truly steals the show as Lisbeth Salander. Her portrayal is intense, layered, and unforgettable, bringing depth to a character that feels both vulnerable and fiercely powerful. The direction, pacing, and cinematography all work together to create a chilling and immersive experience. While the subject matter is dark and not easy to watch at times, it is handled with care and precision, making the story even more impactful. Overall, it’s a stylish, intelligent, and emotionally heavy thriller that leaves a lasting impression. I’d rate it a 9/10.

See more Dave N @DNeale Mar 6 I'm surprised the book did so well because the plot is very pedestrian and often predictable. Maybe the book is just exceptionally well-written, and the movie is certainly well-made, acted, and atmospheric, if at times a little hard to follow. I enjoyed it, but there's plenty of things I would have rather spent 2 and a half hours on. See more Read all reviews
