The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

SONY MOVIE CHANNEL, 9.00PM ★★★★★

The first novel in Stieg Larsson’s popular crime series gets the Hollywood treatment via the trusty hands of Fight Club director David Fincher. Rooney Mara is excellent as the tormented computer hacker brought in to help writer Mikael (Daniel Craig) research a book on the wealthy Vanger family, but the flimsiness of Larsson’s whodunit awkwardly shines through.
