Not since Sophie's Choice have I been so happy with the movie version of a book that I cherish. And yes, I've read all 3 books.

One of the best dark movies I have seen in years. Fantastic adaptation of the book√¢‚Ç¨¬¶Numerous plots intertwined. Love it!

Another movie I'd never have seen without the club. In spite of the rape scene, which I ducked, it was excellent. Can't believe I'm saying this.

Perfection on many levels. Hitchcock montage and sound track. Textbook Jungian analysis is the underlying structure.

Best movie of the season. Just as good as the book.
Boca Raton Member

Just what a movie should be: taut, suspenseful, complex, adult. Finally a thinking-woman's heroine: tough, smart, interesting.
Boca Raton Member

Difficult movie with violent scenes almost unbearable, but a good story and a decent adaptation of the book.

Excellent. Fast paced, well acted, time flew by--there will be some who say it was too violent, but the film was showing the dark side of some people--murderers live among us, but we can't see them because they wear the mask of a normal human being.

Fantastic film! The mutliple layers--mystery, thriller, romance, family drama, and more--left me wanting to see/read more.
Atlanta Member

A solid unnerving thriller. A sort of Swedish take on SE7EN. Well-paced and thoroughly entertaining, even if it plays close to conventions.
