“Not quite in the top 5 of David Fincher's best films ('Se7en', 'The Social Network', 'Fight Club', 'Gone Girl' and 'Zodiac') but it does come close. And this is somebody who found a lot to like about all his films, including his lesser ones like 'Alien 3' and 'Panic Room'.

Despite being often considered a remake, personally prefer to call it a second adaptation of the book. The book is a fantastic read, and as an adaptation while it is condensed and has some changes Fincher's film still adheres to the basic tone of the book as does the Swedish version.

"First viewing - Aug. 1st Lisbeth Salander double feature Since I now tend to go to the drive-in on Friday nights when I can, and this is my final month to have Starz, I've decided to just do my double features on Saturdays as time allows. Kicking off August with a film I had zero interest in upon its release simply because I've seen the European adaptations and don't need another (especially without Noomi Rapace who was perfectly cast as far as I'm concerned). But I've seen mostly positive feed"
