Based on the series of books of the same name from Swedish author Stieg Larsson. The books were all discovered and published post-humously.

Michael Nyqvist is an investigative reporter facing incarceration for an libelous story he wrote about a powerful businessman. He takes a last job, before he is due in jail, to investigate the 30 year old murder of a wealthy investors's neice. Noomi Rapace stars at Lisbeth Salander, an antisocial hacker that uses her skills to provide useful information to the investigative firm she works for. She reluctantly teams up with the reporter but he finds out she's a bit hard to handle. Lisbeth doesnt give a crap about anyone and she's carrying around a serious case of post traumatic stress disorder. Will they prevail... who will die next?

Definately worth watching, even if you've read the books, which I havn't. It moves at a slow but deliberate pace and the characters of Lisbeth and the reporter are well crafted. Noomie Rapace owns Lisbeth.

Its free through instant streaming on Netflix as are its sequels, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest.
