The troubled but single-minded computer hacker extraordinaire Lisbeth Salander returns in the much-awaited sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. She is badass and distrustful of everyone as she finds herself being framed for three murders.
She goes on the run to clear her name while her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), embarks on finding the real killer too.
This is just as gripping and intriguing as the first film. Based on Stieg Larsson's second novel in the Millennium trilogy, it is another faithful adaptation which gives a greater insight into Lisbeth's troubled past and her fiery and deadly relationship with her father.
Noomi Rapace and Nyqvist return in the lead roles, but unfortunately they spend most of the film apart.
The good news is you won't have to wait long to see the thrilling third instalment, which is out in November. The bad news is that Daniel Craig and a little-known actress have been lined up to play the dynamic duo in the Hollywood version.
