Also, it is believed the Celtic Cross, a cross surrounded by a circle, symbolizes the crossing ley lines, thus, that's how the The great attraction Stonehenge is thought to be one of the places where the dragons took their rest. These areas were most often thought of as the spots were the dragons rested because of the heightened power. In the olden times, these dragons were often thought to pass through these veins of power or energy.

The vein, or the path of the dragons, was a form of critical flow of energy or ley of the land. These creatures were also responsible for affecting the ley of the land, and the places that are correlated with the dragon legend were nerve centers, most often associated with sites by ancient sanctity. The Celts have always believed that Celtic dragons came from a different world. For the ancient Celts, "the ley of the land" spoke of the process and of how the magic or cosmic forces flowed through an area, and how the area affected the forces. It is where they prefer to perform the sacred Celtic rituals.

The audience discovers the villain simultaneously with the on-screen characters. The twist/surprise is effective due to a lack of heavily foreshadowing rather than misdirection and deception. So much so, that it is impossible for anyone unfamiliar with the novel to determine who the villain is prior to it being revealed.

The films structure and proceedings remind me of David Fincher's Zodiac (2007), in that it is meticulously paced and focused more on the investigators, rather than the villain. During which they encounter many twists, cover-ups, and close calls. Their paths cross in the quest to solve a 15 year old cold-case disappearance. The story, set in Sweden, follows Mikael (Michael Nyqvist), a journalist facing prison after being set-up, and Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace), a hacker on probation with a mysterious and troubled past. I very much look forward to the rest of the trilogy which has already been filmed and released.

This film, however, is excellent as a stand-alone and is very well executed in nearly every aspect. As I have not read the novels, I cannot comment on their transition to the big-screen. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first of a trilogy based on the Swedish novels of Stieg Larsson.
