I thought Noomi Rapace did an excellent job as Lisbeth. The movie is slower paced, and the way it starts, you have no idea what to expect next. A reporter, Mikael, is set up and will be going to jail, but a rich man hires him to search for his missing niece. Shockingly, Lisbeth, who was hired to hack against him begins helping him, maybe out of curiosity or boredom.
They begin to officially work together on the case. But what they uncover shocks everyone. They find a pattern of murders. But not just murders. Religious ritual racist Nazi murders. Say that three times fast. This film is very graphic, with murders, rapes, and torture/injury scenes. I liked the pace of the movie, but some scenes were far fetched, like when Mikael is saved at the last minute. Like of course he's not gonna die, he's one of the main characters. I'm gonna give this film an 8/10.
I feel this is superior to the English language remake that ended up being put on the 1,001 Movies list. You may want to watch the other two films with Rapace as the same character, although the third movie is probably the least of them.
ReplyDeleteI watched the second one, but I think I will skip the third one. I really did like this one, though.
