The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
43% across 171 head-to-head matchups puts The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on the wrong side of average. No round offers a foothold — below average at every stage. 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. 1.6s 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.
The round-by-round confirms the overall picture: 43% to 49% to 27%. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo hasn't found a round where it consistently competes — the deficit is across the board.
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 25%.
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 (55%) down to Alien³ (39%).
