Theatrical report

Before you see The girl who played with fire (Flickan som lekte med elden), you have to have seen The girl with the dragon tattoo (Män som hatar kvinnor). This is not just a sequel, it's an extension of the first film, and everything that been right has gone wrong. Life is fucked. If you've seen the first film you'll be surprised by nothing in the second, except for the surprising bits. Same characters, same setting, same corruption, same conspiracies, same methods, same crimes, same criminals. It's great, like eating one of your mother's home-cooked meals: same, same, same and comforting despite (or because of) the familiarity.

The bad news is that Hollywood is going to remake the series, so see the original while you can.

The crime, Sweden, thriller movie The girl who played with fire (Flickan som lekte med elden) is directed by Daniel Alfredson and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Lena Endre.
