Noomi Rapace thinks 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' was so popular because the main character is a "survivior."

The grim and darkly atmospheric thrillers based on Swedish writer Stieg Larsson’s trilogy move onward with the quirky, and somewhat sinister, computer hacker Lisbeth (the mesmerising Rapace) returning home after a year away to work again with magazine editor Mikael (Nyqvist) on a sex scandal story that reaches the top of local society.

Emma Watson cut her hair in a bid to win the lead role in 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'.

Nobody does dysfunction quite like the Swedish cinema and with this complex and atmospheric thriller, based on the first of Stieg Larsson’s trilogy, we get an island full of dysfunctional people and a 40-year-old mystery.
