The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)
We worried a little bit about this movie, as going in to be seated the previous viewers were slow to leave and two ladies told us they were still shaking. Now I haven't read this book yet, it's sitting on my to be read pile. I tried to read the first one, but got a little annoyed with it and never finished it, but I did enjoy the movie.
In this movie, Elspeth Salander seems to be being framed for the murder of three people and the police are gathering evidence that links her to all of the victims. Meanwhile she is getting chased and I did see a couple of women in our row jump about four feet in the air a couple of times. You can't help the antisocial woman, for being tiny she is pretty kickass and a great female lead in a world of Hollywood leading ladies, who all seem a bit vapid and souless.
Once again, this movie is very adult content and not one for the kids, but if you enjoy thrillers although it is not up to the tension of the first movie, it far outways watching Rob Schnieders Saturday night rubbish repeat movie on TVNZ. 4/5

as you know, i really didn't like the millennium-series, not becasue the plot was bad but the writing was pretty awful (and the books totally hyped out of proportion in sweden). i watched the 3 movies on tv recently and they surely won't get on my favourite-movie list, but they were better than i had expected.
ps ms salander's first name is lisbeth not elspeth, greetings the swedish stickler;) ds
