Film 210/365, Day 225/365 – The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest


Better than the second but not as good as the first, this is the third and final film in the trilogy.  It’s very much more of the same with murders, conspiracies and socially awkward Lisbeth.  There are some very unusual decisions throughout mostly in the court room but also with the editor of Millennium pulling the magazine when threatened, surely it’s not the first time someone has threatened them!

Synopsis:  Following the events from the second movie Lisbeth is in hospital recovering from her injuries.  She’s been charged with attempting to kill her father and the same people that tried to keep her quite when she was twelve have no interest in letting her talk now.

Film 188/365, Day 199/365 – The Girl Who Played with Fire

Another good crime thriller based on the books by Stieg Larsson.  It's not quite as good as the first film but is still worth watching as there is plenty of intrigue.  Once more however it would appear that Sweden is full of perverts and murderers which probably isn't a fair reflection.  It certainly hasn't put me off watching the third film (or even the Hollywood versions).  Good but nothing special.

Synopsis: A young reporter comes to Mikael Blomqvist with a story about high profile members of society who have been involved in sex trafficking, one way or another.  But then the young reporter his murder and Lisbeth is the police's prime suspect!
