The Girl Who Played with Fire — A much more personal tale — 8*/10
- Overall: Another great intrigue on a more personal level. Not as polished as the original (read my review here), but still amazing entertainment.
- Who is it for? A must for those who liked the first chapter. The others should start there, not here.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216487/
- Known actors: Noomi Rapace.
- Setting: A weird mix where you can't get hang on things, probably a good reflection of average Sweden. Lacks the polished and more holistic design of the first chapter.
- Style: Police intrigue.
- Pacing: A bit hectic, lacking the genius of the original.
- Story: The intrigue is fascinating, riveting, it is all you can ask of one. However, the rest is not as powerful as its predecessor.
- Ending: Painful and masterful.
- Dialogs: Interesting and well made, although it's always difficult to evaluate with subtitles.
- Characters: The bad guys are too simple.
- Acting: Great.
- Afterthoughts: I was riveted the first time I saw it, but even now it is still great.
