Mannen Die Vrouwen Haten / The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Unlike half the rest of the world, I've yet to read Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy. I did, however, end up watching the first of the films (named 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' in English-language markets) recently with some friends - and it's great. Despite a running time of well over 2 hours, it never drags and builds up the tension nicely throughout. The characters are well drawn, well acted; and given the space they need.

Don't wait for the inevitable Hollywood remake - see the Swedish original.
