Review of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009) by Vedran S — 06 Jun 2014
The concluding chapter of the Millennium series, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is an intense political thriller. Facing an attempted murder charge and institutionalization, Lisbeth Salander goes on trial; meanwhile investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to uncover the secret cabal that Lisbeth's father was involved with.
The courtroom drama scenes are especially well-written; full of tension and suspense. However, there are some issues with the story structure; as it feels more like an extended last act for the previous film than a film of its own.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest isn't as strong as the other installments of this trilogy, but it's still an exciting and dramatic film that pays off the series extraordinarily well.
