I haven’t read the book yet but I’m encouraged to do so after seeing this film. If you’re looking for something intense, go and watch this adaptation of Steig’s Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. I was disappointed though by the lack of back story about Lisbeth’s childhood and upbringing. I heard that some of the scenes from the book were removed. Perhaps, different character development was shown, nonetheless, it was a good movie, and I liked it! :)
