In anticipation of the November 1st release of Two For Eternity, I am offering the introduction and first chapters of Two For Eternity. Two For Eternity intro & Ch.1
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a combination mystery and thriller that more than lived up to my expectations. Exiled magazine publisher Mikhael Blomkvist is hired by a wealthy entrepreneur in Sweden to find out what happened to his niece who has been missing for the past few decades. As Mikhael gets closer he enlists the help of Lisbeth, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Lisbeth’s character is what really makes the movie. She’s enigmatic, highly intelligent, half-crazy and unpredictable. The wildest part in the movie is when she sets herself up to get raped by a social worker handling her case so that she can blackmail him, meanwhile tattoing “I AM A RAPIST PIG” on the man’s chest. Crazy stuff. The interaction between the two main characters is high quality stuff. The biggest downside of the movie was trying to keep track of all of the characters in the family Mikhael was investigating, which got a bit cumbersome. I also thought the movie should have ended at the point where Mikhael and Lisbeth solve the case and take care of the bad guy, but all in all this movie was worth watching.
