The Millenium Series

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.

Three books turned into three movies. Written by late author Stieg Larsson, and then turned into a movie trilogy, the story follows the life of a young girl and a journalist who cross paths . They eventually end up entangled in the girl's troubled past. Add to this a lot of Swedish and Russian mafia and politics and you get three interconnected movies.

The movies are decent. Watchable. Nothing too great about it though. The first one, I found too gory. Harsh and crude. But then it grew on me. I had to complete the series and the other two were okay. The main character (the girl) looks gothic and slightly crazy. And the dragon tattoo she has, nothing like the one on the book cover :P

If you are into crime-solving mystery movies, watch it. But don't expect too much.
