This is the third Swedish film made from the popular book trilogy The Millennium series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest) by Stieg Larsson’s. I really enjoyed this new installment of the collection. Although I felt the second film wasn’t as great as the first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this third piece. I have to say that I’m very happy with both the film and its conclusion. Again, this is well put together and powerfully shot. If you are a fan of the other pictures then you will recognize the look and the intensity of the story. The filmmakers shot all three films back to back so the feel is defiantly intact. If you haven’t seen the other films, I do recommend do so. If you have the opportunity to watch them on Blu-ray, there is an English dubbed version that is remarkable. If your not a big subtitle reader then this will be right up you alley. The rubber lips are not very noticeable and it is easy to get into this film. There is an American version in the works if you prefer to wait, but Hollywood doesn’t have a good track record on making a better adaptation than the foreign originals. Again, I liked the movie and I’m going to give it 4 RC’s.
