This is a sequel to the girl with the dragon tattoo. It may be a sequel, but it doesn't clearly follow on. My recommendation, again, is to read the synopsis before watching, to aid understanding of the story. The narrative may otherwise be difficult to follow. Sex and death seem to be this film's essence, and I was left with no sense of entertainment, enjoyment or satisfaction when it had ended. Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist must be the least interesting or charismatic leading man in cinematic history. Noomi Rapace is more attractive in real life than she is in this film. She smokes continuously on screen. Does that tell us anything ? Yes! Her cigarette case saves her life, as it helps to dig her out of her grave. Touch of the Alfredo Garcia there. This film is different; but that's about all I want to say. It's incendiary.
