Our take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

David Fincher's 2011 crime mystery pairs disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist with Lisbeth Salander, a pierced, tattooed punk hacker, to reopen a decades-old case: the disappearance of a weary patriarch's niece forty years earlier. As the mismatched duo digs into a wealthy family's secrets, they uncover corruption far darker than anything they anticipated. Cold, meticulous and sleek, it channels Fincher's clinical eye into a chilly procedural driven by two unforgettable investigators. Best for viewers who like their thrillers dense, patient and morally grim, and who can handle disturbing subject matter. Not comfort viewing, but absorbing for anyone drawn to intricate mysteries and damaged, magnetic characters.
