The Game currently beats The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 59–41
The conspiracy puzzle edges out the cold-case procedural.
The Verdict Director's Cut
The Game's central question — is any of this real? — is total epistemological distrust. Dragon Tattoo's is specific investigative distrust. The lead says total distrust outperforms specific distrust when both are Fincher. The film where nothing is reliable wins over the one where one character is unreliable.
