             This is a foreign film that has earned countless overseas awards and also the highest grossing movie in Sweden, and is currently the first of three films that will be coming to U.S theatres. Hollywood is currently trying to Americanize the three movies (books) to the big screen. I have nothing but good thing to say, about this film. It was expertly casted to a tee, the two main characters where remarkable with their ability to adapt to such daring roles. It is a good thing that they are Swedish actors and unknowns, because they can devour the roles completely. The Swedish countryside is almost another character and the audience also gets a travelogue from seeing these great moody swaths of land, snow and island woods that gives the experience a more believable look. The title of the movie was Män som hatar kvinnor which translates to Men who hate women, I don’t know why they would change the name they probably did it for marketing. The movie is roughly over 2 hours and is worth all you’re time and attention.I'm hoping that the American version will be as great as the Swedish version was.
