The first screen installment of the best-selling ‘Millenium’ trilogy of novels. Investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) is hired by the elderly industrialist Henrik Vanger to reopen a 40-year-old cold case. At a family gathering on a private island in 1966 his 16-year-old niece mysteriously disappeared; her body was never recovered but Vanger is convinced it was murder and that a member of his family was responsible. Blomqvist is assisted by the feisty, tough computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander (Naomi Rapace), a young woman whose own life is riddled with corrupt figures and a murky past. Together they begin to connect a series of grotesque murders and unravel the appalling darkness that lurks in the Vanger family history. Naomi Rapace gives a powerful and intriguing performance as Salander, preserving the depth of the enigmatic, complex character. With the Hollywood slickness of fast-paced action thrillers, director Niels Arden has crafted an atmospheric, detective story with a distinctive Nordic core.
