“Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” Arrive on DVD, Blu-ray

Despite its general excellence, director David Fincher’s film adaptation of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” was a box office disappointment when it hit theaters in December. The poor audience response may have been due to stiff competition from “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” Another possibility is that the target audience couldn’t work up much enthusiasm after the 2009 Swedish version did such a fine job capturing the spirit of Stieg Larsson’s novel. Or it may have been that holiday audiences just weren’t in the mood for a picture that spends much of its time meditating on brutal rapes and murders. Whatever the reasons, too few people have seen this movie.
