The Girl Who Played With Fire

2010 - 4/5

Plot: A
After some time away, Lisbeth goes back to Sweden to find out that she has been accused of the murder of two people. Mikael is still working for Millennium and he’s trying to expose a sex trafficking scandal in Sweden that involves some big names in high places. Both Lisbeth and Mikael are trying to clear her name of the murders, but unlike The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the pair isn’t working together. There’s a little less mystery in this movie than the first, but this film focuses more on Lisbeth’s past.

Script: A
Very well written, and again, I watched the version with the English subtitles.

Acting/Characters: A
Just as perfect as the first: another convincing performance by Noomi Rapace. The others were good as well.
Lisbeth’s fearlessness keeps the viewer glued to the screen, waiting to see what she’ll do next.

Cinematography: A
Great shots, great scenery, good editing, and very well put together.

Score/Music: A
The music was added at the perfect times; it also added to the tension/suspense on screen.

Overall: A
Very entertaining and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I still liked the first one a tad bit more, and I can’t wait to see the third!
