7/10
Decided to see the Swedish adaptation before the U.S. one. If I could describe it in one word, it would be "functional". It does a decent job all around. While I agree with a lot of the necessary storyline cuts and alterations, I do feel like something got lost along the way. I also felt there was zero chemistry between the two leads, and the movie actually starts to sag when they meet instead of crackling as in the book. The direction is average, and I'm looking forward to seeing the style and visual flair Fincher will bring to his adaptation.
