The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo
Two investigative reporters, one disgraced by a libel suit (Daniel Craig) and the other a pierced tattooed computer hacking ward of the state (Rooney Mara), become involved in solving a 40 year old missing person case. It's an intriguing mystery with a fascinating lead character that you can't take your eyes off of. Sweden's harsh bitter backdrop sets the tone of the heroine's bleak and brutal world. Don't underestimate this inked nonconformist because she is highly intelligent, but more importantly, don't dare to cross her. If you like the bad girl type, you love this dark soul. For the squeamish, beware of graphic images of murder and rape as well as nudity in explicit sex scenes. The story plays out slowly during its 2 ½ hours, but it is well worth it. Alien did have trouble with the accents and keeping track of who is who in the family of crazies.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "Leviticus" stars out of 4.
