Millennium Trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)/The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)/The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009) )
A rebellious counter culture hacker finds herself suddenly at the center of international espionage. This is one story told over three movies so you should really see them all. This is top notch story telling and all the mechanics are excellent. The version I seen was subbed, I don't know if you can get them dubbed but my sense is you should be able to. Now these are European films so be aware that their sensibilities towards sex and nudity is a lot more liberal than here in the States.. there isn't a huge amount, nor is it pornographic. Now as for the actual watching you will want to pay fairly close attention, there are a number of subtleties and they happen quickly. It is however hard to get lost in the broad strokes so you don't have to watch it alone behind a locked door. Center of your seat tension. Serves up like Ham and Eggs with black coffee in a winter cabin. Recommended.
PS. I have learned the author of the books this movie is based on is dead and he wrote this story as a kind of penance for witnessing the gang rape of a teenage girl in his youth and his failure to act on the victims behalf.
