Brilliant and engrossing adaptation of the book.<wbr />  For those of you familiar with the Swedish fil<wbr />ms, this is not a remake of the 2009 movie.  Mos<wbr />tly filmed in Sweden, it feels like a foreign fi<wbr />lm.  I found it beautifully directed, filmed, ac<wbr />ted, written, and scored.  Rooney Mara is pitch <wbr />perfect as Lisbeth Salander, as is Daniel Craig&#39;<wbr />s Blomkvist.  For a two-hour and forty-eight min<wbr />ute film, it sure went fast.  Highly recommend, <wbr />but not for kids.  This film is even more graphi<wbr />c in some ways than the original film.  For an A<wbr />merican film, that&#39;s saying something.
