The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

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...
