The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
great - toshall
Beautiful acting and very true to the book. I took a 15 year old and it was just the right age to introduce. The teen is literarily mature. There are even a few very good jokes, one with coffee. There is not that much coffee drinking only 2 or 3. There is a healthy sex scene it is not all torture. Just the right amount to be meaningful. Great movie and perfect length. She is a very good heroine for younger generation. loved it.
