The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest (2009) 7/10

Starring : Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Lena Endre, Annika Hallin, Georgi Staykov
Director : Daniel Alfredson
Running Time : 141 mins

After almost dying at the hands of Zalachenko (Staykov), Lisbeth Salander (Rapace) is recovering in hospital when someone tries to kill her, but only after killing her attacker. With the help of Millennium editor Mikael Blomkvist (Nyqvist) and his sister Annika (Hallin), Salander goes on trial for murder and must decide if she is willing to share the details leading up to her attack on Zalachenko , details that she is ashamed of revealing in public.

I did prefer this to The Girl Who Played With Fire, even though there is far less action and the second half of the film is basically a poorly scripted court case. It’s good that a lot of lose ends are tied up, especially considering this wasn’t supposed to be the last in the series, and fans of Lisbeth and Blomkvist will love seeing them finally win a round.
