Tinsel
Bottom Line: A relentless and harsh look at brutal evil and strength to fight it, wrapped in a savage murder mystery. Well done if you can stand the darkness.
The Gist: When a journalist starts to investigate a decades old disappearance, and the wealthy family involved, he enlists the help of Lisbeth Salander. She’s a hardcore hacker, a vigilante for justice, perhaps mentally unstable. Together, they fight the evil and violence that is all to prevalent among human beings.
The Verdict: This movie is graphically violent, and that’s one of its points. In a world where evil is so very prevalent and redemption is a foreign concept, those who would stop the victimization of of others must be brutal. It’s a richly drawn and well-made portrait of post Christian philosophy. Read our full review.
Be Aware: Rated R, hard R, for graphic violence, graphic sexuality (both rape and consensual), language, and the works! Not for teens or, obviously, children.
