THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO [2009]

Based on Swedish author Stieg Larsson's insanely popular novel of the same name from the Millennium series, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a gripping thriller that is constantly intriguing and building on character.
Noomi Rapace steals the show with her portrayal of one of the strongest, yet simultaneously fragile, female leads since Jodie Foster's take in Silence Of The Lambs.
Once the story starts rolling it doesn't stop with it's twists and turns that will keep you guessing right up to it's surprisingly emotional conclusion. If if it's a gritty and atmospheric mystery that you're looking for then look no further. This delivers front to back.

I got the extended edition box set of all three films. I didn't notice very much new material in this one but it's been a while since I saw the theatrical cut.
I agree with all you said.
