Corrected entry: In the scene when Daniel Craig is in the woods scouting around, he is shot at by a hunter's rifle. The impact of the bullet is near a tree or pole, over his left shoulder. He ducks to the right. It appears the shot missed him. When he appears back in the frame, it looks like his left temple is nicked. In the next scene Lisbeth is using dental floss to stitch up his right temple which is bleeding.

Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara
Continuity mistake: The overall timeline of the film is about twelve months but it is inconsistent as far as the seasons. When Blomkvist arrives at the Vanger's island, it is the dead of winter with deep snowfall. A short while later, when Blomkvist is talking to the detective on a pay phone (who asks if he is surviving the winter weather), the snow is gone and the deciduous trees have no leaves, but a few minutes later, when the scene cuts to Henrik Vanger being rushed to the hospital, it is suddenly the middle of summer, sunny and the trees are in full bloom. When Lisbeth arrives on the island, and she and Blomkvist are sitting outside at night talking, the trees close to the house are bare and a howling wind can be heard in the background, but the next day trees have leaves. Some weeks later, when Lisbeth saves Bloomkvist from Martin, it is winter again, with heavy frost on the ground and trees are bare once more. A little while after that, when Lisbeth and Blomkvist go to find Harriet, trees on the street are in full bloom. A day or two later, when Blomkvist is talking to Harriet in the park, it is apparently now early spring because the smaller deciduous trees are only just beginning to sprout new leaves while some bigger ones have none at all. At the very end, it's just before Christmas again.
Henrik Vanger: Soon you'll know us all too well, with my apologies.
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.

Correction: Daniel Craig is actually standing in-line, if not barely in front of, the pole/tree, from the camera's/audiences perspective. We can say when he turns his head camera left in this scene that his head is dissecting the pole. The shot actually comes from camera left. It nicks/grazes Daniel Craig's right temple when his head is slightly turned camera left and then hits the pole/tree. We can say it comes from camera left because the location of the family members homes is established earlier in the movie and as we know by the end it was Stellan Skarsgard's character who took the shot.
