I have to say I was a little leery of this series at first. Some of the book series lately haven't been something that interest me, e.g. The Twilight Series, Saga, whatever. I've heard good things about this series though, and wanted to see the original Swedish series before Hollywood gets its hands on it [and ruins it... did you know they want Scarlett Johansson for this!??! awful].Plus, Stieg Larsson, the author, is very close to my last name... Larsen... so I had to give it a chance. Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist were very well cast for these parts. The film seemed to fit the cast and location well, and although I've been told there are a lot of elements from the book that have been left out, the script seemed very complete and the story was compelling.
The film is a murder mystery, Nygvist's character is hired to investigate a disappearance from 30 years ago, and Rapace [a hacker] helps in the investigation after nosing-around on Nygvist's computer.
You have to read, so that immediately turns some people away. It is a lot less reading than the book though, right? Don't wait for the Hollywood version, they are sure to screw it up. The themes are very very adult. There is a rape scene and some things that might make you uncomfortable. It is worth checking out though.
