Review:
Män som hatar kvinoor, also known as “Men Who Hate Women”, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” or, in German, “Verblendung”, is the film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s first posthumous bestseller. It’s the story of a journalist waiting for a prison sentence trying to uncover a murder 40 years ago. A well-constructed thriller - that deviates much from the novel and deletes most of the minor plot lines - the film is gripping until the end, with interesting characters that are well played. It’s not great, but in the genre, it’s quite good.
