The third film has yet to be released in North America, but thanks to the wonder of the Internet and all-region DVD players, I was able to watch the PAL version of the Swedish film with decent subtitles. I had no desire to wait months for the North American release to finish the trilogy.The third time around Mikael is again working to free Lisbeth's name, as she lies recovering in hospital in police custody. Lisbeth plots her revenge from insider her hospital room, while Mikael is uncovering a secret outside that not only effects Lisbeth but all of Sweden. This film is more of a spy/espionage thriller, and though not quite up to par of American films within the genre, it provides an enjoyable ride. This film, in my opinion, would be the hardest to understand without having read the book, mainly because a lot of characters are introduced with no background information. Despite this, the film provides a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and leaves me anxious to see the American remake. While I am against remakes in general, I enjoy the story so much, that another version of it can't be a bad thing.
