... View MoreI lasted just over a half hour with this "movie" featuring a talent-less actress sporting silver rings (plural) in her nose. That was a major distraction, but the film overall was dreadful and I decided not to waste more of my life on it. Those who have rated it so highly must have a penchant for asinine Swedish "movies", or perhaps are masochists. Whatever. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

View MoreAmbitious sequel to THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO about Lisbeth (Rapace) returning home to oversee unexpected but inevitable conflicts, while Mikael (Nyqvist) starts an investigation into a sex-trafficking ring. Starts off as an impressive follow-up, making all the right moves—expanding on things foreshadowed in its predecessor while at the same time introducing new characters with equally interesting stories—but eventually proves itself to be a sufferer of "the middle chapter syndrome", leaving the audience with a cliffhanger that feels more like a legal-drama season finale than its own necessary installment in an overall larger story.**½ (out of four)
... View MoreThis, the second of the 'Millennium Trilogy, sees the return of Lisbeth Salander and investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist and if you haven't seen 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' you are likely to be confused as to what is going on as plot details related to events in that film aren't explained. Mikael is working on a story that will expose prominent people who have been complicit in the trafficking of young women and shortly afterwards two people who provided him with key information are killed. The murder weapon has Lisbeth's fingerprints on it and it was stolen from her legal guardian who has also been murdered. The police believe that she did it but Mikael is convinced of her innocence. The two of them end up leading parallel investigations that will lead them to the mysterious 'Zala' who is apparently involved in the trafficking and is closely connected to Lisbeth.After 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' this instalment feels very televisual and there is less suspense... although this might be down to knowing that the protagonists must survive to appear in the third film! That said if you enjoy TV crime dramas then you should enjoy this too; the story features a suitable amount of action and there are interesting revelations about Lisbeth's background that I didn't see coming. It was also interesting to keep the two protagonists apart until the very end. Noomi Rapace is once again brilliant as Lisbeth and Michael Nyqvist does a fine job as Mikael; a far less showy role. While the story is good there are some distinct flaws; the huge blond unstoppable German seemed rather cliché and I don't see how Lisbeth could survived one encounter that left her not only shot but also buried! Still despite these faults it was well worth watching and left me keen to see how the story ends in 'The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest'.
