Day 76: Flickan som lekte med elden / The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)

Sat down and watched the two remaining films in the trilogy in two days. The second and third films (like their books) are really one story, and are best enjoyed close to each other. Seeing as they are both over 2 hours, though, it's probably best not to watch them back to back.

Lisbeth and Mikael are back again, this time investigating a sex-trafficking ring. Lisbeth is charged with three murders, and while she goes into hiding, Mikael works to clear her name. Noomi Rapace, as Lisbeth, and Michael Nyqvist, as Mikael, remain perfect casts for their roles. This film is a mystery-thriller (or at least for anyone who hasn't read the book), and it's a lot more action packed then the first film. Not as good as the first, but still a worthy sequel. Lisbeth is a unique heroine to the silver screen, and Rapace plays her incredibly well - that alone is worth seeing the film.
