Rooney Mara, Daniel Craig
This was another European (read:foreign language) hit that was re-made in English for all the droolers out there. But this is one of those rare cases when the re-make equaled or even exceeded the original.
Credit director David Fincher who opens the film with a credit sequence that sets a fluid, ambiguous tone and maintains it throughout. Daniel Craig is a better lead than his Swedish counterpart and Ms Mara nails her Noomi Rapace imitation...even making her character a bit softer and multi-dimensional. The film races along for nearly three hours and I never was tempted to pause for a break.
Great supporting cast...Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgaard, Robin Wright...and luminous cine helped raise this to the highest level of mystery/drama.
