The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)
Sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the second of the Millennium trilogy of books featuring Goth hacker Lisbeth Salander and journo Mikael Blomkvist.
This thriller sees Salancer on the run having been accused of three murders as Blomkvist tries to clear her name. To be honest it's not a patch on the first film, despite great performances from Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist it all feels rather muted. It doesn't help that the two barely feature on screen together nor does the fact that it seems to have lost the dangerous cutting edge of the first film.
A major disappointment.
