'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' or 'Men Who Hate Women'

The latter 'title' above, the English translation of the Swedish title, is more accurate, but I imagine the American distributors felt it was too dark.
This is an excellent who-done-it, that while longer than average, held my interest continuously and NEVER dragged. The story, screenplay, actors, direction, and cinematography are all excellent IMHO. A young-woman investigator/computerhacker is played cooly by Noomi Rapace, who has acted in all 3 of the Steig Larssen-based movies. Her character fascinated me, perhaps for being so unlike female actors in American movies.
HIGHLY recommended. Ebert sure loved it.
