I was surprised that Hollywood decided to remake the 2009 Swedish film of the same name, the original was so good and only just released two years ago! This new version stars Daniel Craig and relative newcomer, Rooney Mara, and is in many ways very close to the original. I thought good ol' Hollywood might tone down some of the more graphic scenes but in fact they did not. They added a bit more fluff here and there, but when it came to the gritty material they kept it, well, just as gritty. It is a good film, with a slightly complicated plot, but it all sorts itself out in the end. I look forward to seeing how the next two remakes compare...
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
