Director David Fincher does his own thing with Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and if not for the strongly written characters, it'd be almost unrecognizable compared to the Swedish film version. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara do a fine job in their roles (in fact they were perfectly cast) but being a dedicated fan to the original film I feel they can't compare to Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace.
It's more faithful to the novel than the Swedish film and goes into greater detail but makes some slight changes here and there that might anger the dedicated fan.
If you hadn't seen the Swedish version than this would be an excellent introduction...if you have, than it might pale in comparison.
