Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011)

This was the first of three films I saw today. I'd seen part of the original version but struggled to get into it and gave up after 20 minutes or so..
This, on the other hand started with a typical David Fincher title sequence. Cool visuals and a cool Led Zeppelin cover (reminded me of Fight Club) plus Trent Reznor credited for the music... Looked promising.
The film was an 18 certificate and I knew it was for sexual violence towards women.. Didn't make it any easier knowing this but I'm becoming desensitised these days.. Rooney Mara's performance was particularly good playing someone whose socially inept and was unrecognisable after her brief stint in The Social Network.
The film was long at 2 hours plus but I only looked at the clock once (mainly because I needed the loo!). Still, after that showing I'm looking forward to the next in the trilogy (in fact I may dig out the originals and watch them)
Overall another enjoyable film ***1/2
