The Girl Who Played With Fire

Foreign, Suspense
5 stars
Excellent movie; Swedish with English subtitles. In this is the second installment in the trilogy of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the title character returns to Sweden after taking a year abroad while her love interest in the first book tries to expose a human trafficking ring. I’m sorry I didn’t get to read this book, but thankfully I remembered the character’s names from the first book because this movie wastes no time and dives right in without introductions. Noomi Rapace returns in the title role as does Michael Nyqvist as a prominent journalist and her former flame. Some nudity. Really, really good, edge of your seat, nonstop suspense thriller.
