My sisters keeper part 1

But the revelations come from the piecing together of clues and deduction the characters partake in instead of just having surprises cobbled at random. There are no red herrings and if there are, none that the spectator notices or cares about. There was no smell of fish in the theater and if there was then if must have been my feet. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens with investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist Michael Nykvist being found guilty and serving three months for committing libel. Mikael has six months until he has to serve his sentence. The story also deals with hacker Lisbeth Salander aka the girl with the dragon tattoo Noomi Rapace who is paid to hack into Mikaels computer and look at all his files and documents which prove or disprove the truth of the libel suit. Mikael and Lisbeth my sisters keeper part 1 converge and work together to solve a case about what really happened to Harriet, the favorite family member of Henrik Vanger Sven-Bertil Taube, who hasnt been seen since the 60s. Mikael is hired to find out what happened to Harriet. Was she killed and if so who killed her? And if not, then what caused her disappearance? There are many exciting revelations that are fascinating to discover whether the logic behind them holds water or not. In most mysteries, the audience is asked to sit back and enjoy the twists and turns the story takes and to forgive the filmmaker for any lapses in consistency and/or logic. Im not sure if all the many shocks are possible but the viewer wont care. There are so many plot complications and fascinating characters that any flaw in my sisters keeper part 1 story is a moot point. The movie might be 2 and a half hours long, but we arent bored one minute since there is enough material here for at least three movies. Though there is a lot going on, the movie never feels rushed, which can often happen in a film filled with so much happening. There is a lot going on in the film but not in a way that drowns the viewer with information. You have to pay attention to all the details since the film has faith in the audiences intelligence and never says things more than once or goes into expository dialogue. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the best thrillers to come along in quite some time. The movie is almost too good to seem like a movie made nowadays. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is as good as the thrillers from the 70s and might be the best one since The Marathon Man. This is clearly a movie directed by a skilled craftsman. Filled with excellent shots, a good use of music and cinematography. Niels Arden Oplev does a great job at directing the film and maintaining an excellent pace. Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg do an excellent job translating Stieg Larssons novel to the screen. I didnt read the book the movie is based on, although now I wish I had. What really makes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fascinating to watch are the characters in the film. Every actor does his AND HER I dont want to be one of the men who hate women job superbly. Noomi Rapace goes an excellent job at playing the withdrawn Lisbeth. Although her character is a little too smart to be believable, this is really just a minor quibble. Michael Nyqvist does a great job as Mikael. Special kudos should go to Peter Haber as Martin Vanger, Sven-Bertil Taube as Henrik Vanger, but really theres not a bum performance in the bunch.
