It was good and ended well but you're right, it wasn't a great movie.
Brad Pitt was pretty terrible in that. Oddly enough though, he did his best work in Kalifornia.

I don't recall seeing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being mentioned. Both the Noomi Rapace and the Rooney Mara version are excellent movies.

I was always a fan of Clay Pigeons for a light hearted murder movie

A serial killer is anyone who kills more than 3 people and is most certainly defined by the number of kills. I mean it's the literal definition.

You know people are always telling me this. I've seen parts of the Swedish (Rapace) and most of the 2011 film, but other than the acting of Skarsgard (and to a lesser degree Mara), that film just isn't in my wheelhouse. I get why art film folks like it. Craig just isn't convincing in it for me, Plummer is fine and again, Mara gets all the critical acclaim (and, no doubt, she nailed the role), but Skarsgard could get paid to read phonebooks and recipes.
I mean, it's dark, gritty, has a compelling universe, but the same is true for Dark City (which had some hella good acting in it as well).
What am I missing?

Watch all three of the Swedish ones before you watch the English one.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)
The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)
I don't think the English one can be judged fairly without watching the others first.

I decided to do what I recommended you do in my last post. Hadn't seen the Swedish version in over 10 years. Watched the first one Wednesday , the second one last night, and will finish with No. 3 tonight.
Now I remember why I like the Swedish ones better. They are a little more graphic, and more intense. They don't try to make the reporter the main character in these, but they develop the Lisbeth Salander character much more in the first movie. You find out why she's so f'ed up. The relationship between the girl and the reporter is a little different, it develops slower, and they don't use things that happen in the film as an excuse for something else to happen. That last part will make sense when you watch it.
I'm kind of excited for the third one. I thought the end of this one was the way the third one ended, so I can't remember the story line of the third one at all.

I love Se7en, but Brad Pitt was the weakest part of it.
Fincher makes a damn good movie.

Confessions of a seriel killer. Was om HBO in 80 's & loosely based on Henry Lee Lucas & Otis Toole. Way better than the garbage Henry portrait of a seriel killer.

I posted this in the Kurt Russell thread but Breakdown is a really good one as is Memories Of Murder by the Parasite guy. M is the best.

Definitely one of the best. Most people don’t think of it as a serial killer movie but Andrew Robinson was fantastic as Scorpio.
A couple of people mentioned Mr. Brooks. That’s a great film.
My choices, though, are Se7en and The Silence of the Lambs.
