 Violence in a Volvo - Sado-fuelled Swedish Crime Thriller September 8, 2010
T. BROOKES (Midlands, UK)

Firstly, 'The Girl With' film is very good indeed. Having read the 'Millennium' trilogy of the award winning, best-selling books by the late Stieg Larsson, it is difficult not to compare the two mediums. The point to realise is that the films are solid enough to represent and serve justice to the books, in combining ways, being impressive in their own right.
The films pleasingly stick to its Swedish routes, being shot in Sweden and also in Swedish (with optional English Dub versions that are also good). It also remains low budget in feel, being dark and full of tension and with moments of suspense and shocking content (i.e the several rapes and sex scenes). There is a Hollywood adaptation being planned, with Daniel Craig being confirmed as the lead, and this I feel is a real shame, as it will undoubtedly lose some of it's integrity.
The book's original title was 'Men Who Hate Women', which really is the theme and underlying subject matter fuelling this excellent modern crime drama thriller. This inclusion and obsession of violence against women in contemporary Swedish society, addresses psychological issues of crimes and how people's backgrounds can ultimately affect them later in life.
It is great that the stories will reach a bigger audience base but it is a bit of a shame that many will miss out on reading such quality novels. To stop myself comparing the two I would say most thriller and drama film fans will enjoy both of the 'Girl' films, probably finding them more shocking, impressive and scary than the avid book fans.
My only criticisms are that some scenes are rushed, such as the super speedy and ridiculous computer hacking, evidence and research processing and many of the other characters are simply visited briefly and with no depth. But, in all fairness a film that is over 2 hours does well to cover a large book.
You may love it for the excellent story, reader or not, and the themes, graphic scenes and characters. However, this could also be the reason you would hate such an adult thrilling romp.

Beautifully filmed and well directed.The essence of Book 1 of the trilogy is well and coherently told but in doing so looses a lot of the complexity and excitement of the original story.The acting is first rate
throughout the film.
Looking forward to seeing the next part of the trilogy.

After reading the STEIG LARSSON trilogy & being totally gripped from beginning to end in all 3 books, I really looked forward to the first film but was a little disappointed as the film had been dubbed.

I found this film an exciting experience that followed the story well. It appears that negative comments by some other reviewers are misplaced and their comments actually refer to the original story rather then the itself film. I am looking forward to seeing the sequels as they become available. I recomend this DVD.
