The Book or the Movie?

I have read the book, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" just days before I saw the movie.


One thing I can tell you. After reading the book, whatever suspense left in the movie just got lost. Pity that it followed the book too closely. Except for the last part where they decided not to go to Australia and re-write the subplot that Harriet was actually Anita residing in London, the movie lacks plenty after the plot is gone. Nothing in the movie is shocking.


Otherwise, I think Rooney Mara played the role of Lisabeth Salendar to a T. Craig was his usual glummy self, hardly venturing a smile.
