    The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

    Reviewed by

    The final chapter of Lisbeth and Michael's struggle against the various forces of evil in Sweden (Sex traffickers, perverts, and the rogue security force) closes with a whimper. This film does not measure up to the family intrigue in Dragon Tattoo nor to Lisbeth's confrontation with her villainous father in Played with Fire. Hornets' Nest has lost the subtlety and nuance that was present in the book. Even Lisbeth's vicious half-brother is a big bore. It was all dull, dull, dull! However, the movie is worth a look for the charasmatic performances of Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist. Some of the insights into the Swedish Court system provide interest. The fact that this movie features real people facing obstacles as real people would, with some degree of fear in their hearts, makes for a scenario more compelling than that seen in a superhero flick (wherein you just know that everything will turn out just right in the end.) It will be nice to see Rapace in more films. She is slated to appear in Sherlock Holmes II. And David Fincher is directing an American version of Dragon Tattoo for a 2011 release.
