  Upstaged by current version
  
  Good but not as good as the one with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara currently in the cinema. I guess it was made with a smaller budget and so not surprising.

  One of our favourite movies. The acting is brilliant and story is so well written. Sub titles does not detract from the movie at all.

  Much better film than I thought
  
  Brilliantly dark and twisted murder mystery that keeps u thinking till the end - and leaves you wanting more even despite being dubbed into English !

- This dynamite thriller shivers with suspense. So if you ignore The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo because it's in Swedish with English subtitles, you probably deserve the remake Hollywood will surely screw up.

- [Noomi] Rapaces performance is altogether more thrilling than any that can be imagined from Kristen Stewart, Natalie Portman or any of the mooted co-leads in the promised Hollywood remake.

- Every so often, you get the gift of watching an under-the-radar actor bloom into a critical-mass phenomenon before your bloodshot eyes [...] Add Noomi Rapace to the list.
