A book, a trilogy, a movie, and now a DVD. Intense, graphic, complex and yet somehow satisfying at the end. Not for the squeamish.

The deeper Mikael and Lisbeth dig for the truth, however, the greater the risk of being buried alive by members of the family who will go to great lengths to keep their secrets tightly sealed. …
A very fast 2&1/2 hrs.
Soon to be remade by Hollywood which will in all likelyhood totally destroy it.
