| Testimonials:"Infused with the same sense of fiery danger and provocative intrigue that made 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' so much fun to watch."Frank Wilkins, ReelTalk Movie Reviews"The girl is still hot, no getting around it."Tom Long, Detroit News"Relentless suspense allows The Girl Who Played With Fire to hold you in a viselike grip. But it's the performances of Nyqvist and especially Rapace that keep you coming back for more."Peter Travers, Rolling Stone | | Synopsis:Stieg Larsson’s bestselling Millenium trilogy has taken the world by storm, with each book already made into a film. The first, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, was released earlier this year; this second film, originally made for television, continues the tale of hacker Lisbeth Salander and Millenium magazine editor-in-chief Mikael Blomkvist soon after the first’s story ends.
Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace) has returned to Sweden after a year’s ‘exile’ and immediately ends up being tracked by ‘the men who hate women’. Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) has not heard a single word from her since she disappeared at the end of the last film. In the meantime, he has started working with a freelance journalist, Dag, and his girlfriend, who are researching the sexual slave trade in Sweden. During their investigations, they’ve found out some high-ranking state officials have been involved in these criminal activities; they aim to release their names to the public.
The Girl Who Played With Fire is filled with, and fuelled by, the same feminist energy. Rapace again fully embraces her complex role with amazing skill. She is a strong female character unlike any other seen in recent film; her strange and horrifying past only make her all the more intriguing. | |
