Movie Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is a thriller, a murder mystery, a revenge story, and simply a very well made movie directed by David Fincher. Dark, brooding, and shocking, Rooney Mara’s Oscar-nominated role as the troubled but fiercely independent Lisbeth Salander is a captivating and impressive performance. Despite the movie’s great storytelling and acting, however, it puts forward a disturbing and self-defeating vision of female power.
