Quite unexpectedly director David Fincher returns to the thriller genre by remaking a Swedish film, which is in turn based on a novel of the same name written by Stieg Larsson. Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a concise, breakneck retelling of an aristocratic family shrouded in mystery and two unexpected colleagues that delve deep into the secrets of a nearly forty-year unsolved murder. Dragon Tattoo succeeds in many aspects. It is a highly polished, wonderfully acted and directed film and I would have expected nothing less from Fincher. It’s because I got what I expected that keeps this from being Fincher’s finest film. But again that is a failing of having to translate a dense novel to the screen and not a failing of the highly creative and talented individuals that created this riveting thriller.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
This was the author's first ever film review. Did a damn good job.
