A compelling thriller to begin with, but it adds the rare quality of having a heroine more fascinating than the story.

Tattoo is as much mood piece as mystery, and the mood is almost always disturbing.

May be a shallower experience than the book, but it has a headlong velocity all its own. Catch it before the inevitable U.S. remake.

Every so often, you get the gift of watching an under-the-radar actor bloom into a critical-mass phenomenon before your bloodshot eyes: Franka Potente in "Run Lola Run," or Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds." Add Noomi Rapace to the list; what she does with the title character of this Swedish thriller-cum-pop-lit-adaptation will spawn cults of swooning Rapacephiles stat.

The film makes excellent use of the cold Scandinavian landscape to emphasize the story's gloomy loneliness. And Rapace and ? Nyqvist have compelling chemistry.
