For those concerned that Stieg Larsson was sensationalizing violence against women . . .

In his Lisbeth Salander novels:

At the age of 15, he witnessed the gang rape of a girl. It gave him a lifelong horror of violence against women.

Pretty decent series so far, IMO.

Swedish version

Very good. I haven't read any of the books because the genre is not my cup of tea, but I did like the movie and would recommend it.
