Factual error: In the very last scene, Mikael and Erika get into a taxi and head off. This is on Bastugatan in Stockholm, and they are heading west. Bastugatan is a one-way road, and you can only go east. (Go to Bastugatan 14, Stockholm, Sverige and look west, the scene is very distinctive, as is the Do Not Enter sign.)
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara
Gottfried Vanger (now dead) turns out to be a serial rapist/murderer and his son Martin has taken over the family business. He attacks Blomkvist, but denies killing Harriet. Salander attacks Martin and chases after him, but Martin's car crashes and explodes. Blomkvist deduces that Anita Vanger is actually Harriet. It is presumed that the real Anita is dead and Harriet felt kindly toward her because she helped her sneak off the island after she found out that Martin was raping women. Henrik and Harriet are reunited, but the information Henrik promised Blomkvist on Wennerstrom turns out to be no good. Salander then borrows some money from Blomkvist and goes on a holiday in disguise, hacking Wennerstrom's accounts and transferring the money to her own accounts. Wennerstrom is later found dead. Salander goes to give Blomkvist a gift, but sees him with Erika, tosses the gift in the dumpster and walks away.

Henrik Vanger: You will be investigating thieves, misers, bullies. The most detestable collection of people that you will ever meet - my family.
Trivia: In the coffee shop scene at the beginning, the cashier/server who waits on Daniel Craig is the daughter of Michael Nyqvist, the actor who played Mikael Blomkvist in the Swedish version of this film.
