Glad everyone liked it! It had been a while since I watched it so I was hoping it was as I'd remembered it. The cover art can kill interest in a movie so fast for me too, I've almost passed on other good movies because of bad cover art. I think that and the ironic title tends to make this movie easy to get lost in the mix.
I don't know a lot about the noir genre either but I've seen this movie praised in different reviews as a great example of neo-noir.
Ebert really liked it too.
Netflix was how I found out about this one actually, it popped up as a recommendation. Recommendations on Netflix have always been very hit or miss for me, but occasionally I'll get lucky, as with this one.
That car crash scene really is beautifully filmed, both the slow-motion shot on her and then later, the shot from Jonas and his family's point of view are both breathtaking in a different way.
Nice catch on the same actor who played Harriet Vanger, I completely missed that!
I pick Joel for the next selection.
