The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2009
Director: Daniel Alfredson (The Girl Who Played with Fire)
Actors: Michael Nyqvist (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), Lena Endre
Country: D, DK, S
Genre: Polar, Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 05.01.2012, Blu-ray, Home cinema
Synopsis: Immediately after the events of the second movie, Lizbeth Salander (Rapace) is in the hospital recovering, while her actions have set in motion a secret group of people you don't want to mess with.
Review: Quite a nice conclusion to the trilogy and complementary to the two others. After the family business and the police investigation, now the trial / conspiracy movie. As in the other episodes, I liked that the story takes some uncommon turns. Also it is nice to see the contrast between a secret organization and a bunch of people united in their fight against the all-powerful group. Those people are the victim Girl, the reporter (Nyquist) and members of the government that will actually do their job in taking down the organization. It is good not to see only the corrupted part of the government as we usually see in this kind of movies.
Not much action or suspense in this movie, but a linear story that lets us appreciate the character of the Girl at length.
Rating: 7 /10
