Review of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009) by Jocelyn K — 05 Mar 2011

This is the best film in the trilogy. Things that were set up in the first film(the girl with the dragon tattoo) are paid off very well in this final film. As the films have progressed thru the dragon tattoo and played with fire the audience has become more and more sympathetic towards Lisbeth Salander in the fact that she is being used to cover up crimes and corruption in reaches above and outside the swedish security forces and government.

I really like Noomi Rapace's performance in all 3 films. Particulary, the 2nd and 3rd films as she goes very quiet and only speaks and gives information when she needs to. Micheal Nyqvist is also very good as the dedicated journalist who has supported lisbeth in clearing her name.

I'd love to get hold of the swedish tv version of this trilogy. Highly recommended !!!
