The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[cyrano]

This is a movie about characters who have more important things to do than be characters in an action thriller.

What a great quotation.

I really thought so. And it's only about fifteen minutes' drive from my house. I think I need to see it.

So jealous.

The book was pretty good FWIW. I want to go see it, but it's not playing anywhere near here.

...Does he mean that in a good way, or a bad way?

Either way, it's a brilliant sentence. I'm just... curious, now.

Let me see if I can find his review, as the whole thing should be read. But he rates the film highly.

Odd side thing I noticed while watching the movie - the dude playing Mikael Blomkvist reminds me a lot of Liam Neeson. He doesn't have quite the same sonorous voice, but he has a similar open and honest face, and that sort of fatherly bearing that makes him really quite good in the role, and helps to balance out the preponderance of misogynistic male characters in the story.
