Mikael Blomkvist is called upon by Henrik Vanger to find his grand daughter who went missing 40 years ago..Helping Mikael is Lisbeth Salander ,an expert computer hacker....

Starring -Daniel Craig ,Rooney Mara
Director -David Fincher

GDT is the remake of the Swedish movie with the same title...And this version is almost the exact same Swedish movie scene for scene...All the scens are shot the same way it were in the Swedish version...Other than for a couple of tiny scenes the US version is a replica of the Swedish version..The end ,though, is different...unnecessary actually..

But if you haven't watched the original, this one is more for the artistic viewers..Just like the original,this one too was very boring...The mystery of the missing/dead girl was too far fetched and theres a chance that the viewers can easily get confused by the large family (one of which is the suspected killer)..

The movie is also very dark and slow..The pace of the movie is generally slow..

In the acting department ,Rooney Mara steals the show..She practically changed herself to play this role..Daniel Craig is also good enough..

Direction is pretty much ok...David Fincher could have atleast shot the movie differently rather than copy the Swedish one...

The movie is a Long (2.30 hrs) & boring...
