Forty years ago, teenaged Harriet Vanger disappeared from her powerful family’s island during a reunion; her bereft, aging uncle still believes she was murdered, and by a relative, and he hopes to solve the mystery before he dies. He hires a middle-aged, disgraced journalist (Michael Nyqvist) and a tattooed, troubled but genius young computer hacker (an unforgettable Nooni Rapace). These two begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. Based on the first of Stieg Larsson’s posthumously published and popular worldwide Millennium trilogy, this grippingly suspenseful and grittily intense film from Danish director Niels Arden Oplev is faithful to its source material.
