‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the first of the Millennium trilogy, a big-budget adaptation of a series of books by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson.

They investigate with an entire extended family of suspects over their shoulders. Needless to say, things get more mysterious as they get more dangerous.
