The Girl Who Played With Fire (2009) 6/10

Starring : Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace
Director : Daniel Alfredson
Running Time : 125 mins

As Mikael Blomkvist (Nyqvist) investigates a sex trafficking ring through which some high ranking officials have been abusing young girls, two of his researchers are murdered and his acquaintance Lisbeth Salander (Rapace) is framed for their deaths. As Lisbeth is forced to go on the run from the authorities, Mikael races against time to clear her name and find out who is trying to keep the sex trafficking ring a secret…

Probably the best thing about this movie is that we learn a little more about the background of the character of Lisbeth. There’s a lot going on in this movie as we are taken in two directions by Blomkvist and Salander, and go deeper into the criminal world of sex trafficking. Fans of the original will enjoy this second instalment, though it doesn’t have quite the appeal of the first.
