Extra, extra


The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (2009)

Based on the novel of the same name this film from director Daniel Alfredson stars Noomi Rapace and Micahel Nyqvist. Picking up where the last film left off our heroine is in hospital and facing trial while the reporters at the millennium magazine seek to defend her.

Much like the second film in the series this film does not reach the heights of the first film but does work pretty well as a thriller. The plot does decent into conspiracy theory land but manages to hold a fair amount of tension even when the plot gets a little out there. Having the female protagonist sidelined for most of the film is not the greatest part of the story and the ending seems to indicate that despite three films she has not really changed.

4/5
