Probably the best thriller of the year but it will not be released in USA

Millennium 1, The Man Who Hate Women is a thriller; but most of all a character study. Explaining what happens will not make any justice and will diminish the lasting feeling after enjoying it. The sad part is that the movie does not seem will have a wide USA release. It will probably be shown in New York and/or Los Angeles in a couple of theatres and as USA people hate reading it will be miserably ignored. It is sad because dumb things like I LOVE YOU MAN, DUPLICITY, THE HANGOVER or any romantic or formulaic movie gets wide release and huge publicity while this master piece; based on a master piece book will be limited to a DVD by the few people with still some cultural knowledge in the country. If this does not bother you; then search for some of the above mentioned movies you will for sure be delighted with.
