The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo loses more than it wins in every round — and 40% across 206 matchups is well below the 50% that would mean just holding even. Fincher's coldest film demands a level of engagement that not every voter brings to a bracket. Rooney Mara's Lisbeth Salander is unforgettable for those who stayed locked in. 1.7s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.
Synopsis
Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist investigates the disappearance of a weary patriarch's niece from 40 years ago. He is aided by the pierced, tattooed, punk computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander. As they work together in the investigation, Blomkvist and Salander uncover immense corruption beyond anything they have ever imagined.
No round to hide in: 40% opening, 48% semis, 24% finals. The record is consistent in the wrong direction — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo loses ground at every stage, not just the hard ones.
Zodiac at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. Against Fight Club, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wins only 0%. Some matchups simply don't go your way. The Social Network causes similar problems at 20%.
The path through Best of David Fincher always ends the same way for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: a final against Se7en, a 70% loss rate. So close and so consistent.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo sits at #7 of David Fincher's 9 films. The filmography spans from Fight Club (56%) down to Alien³ (37%).
