    • Trivia
      Boxer Paolo Roberto is featured as a character in the original novel and plays himself in the movie. This is quite possibly only the fourth time in film and literature that this has happened. Previously, Richard Kiley was the tour guide voice in the movie Jurassic Park (1993), having been identified as such in Michael Crichton's novel. Lady Chablis played herself in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) after being a character in the original non-fiction book by John Berendt. Finnish painter Kimmo Kaivanto played himself in Jäähyväiset presidentille (1987) after being a character in the original novel by Pentti Kirstilä.
    • Goofs
      When Salander is putting her Taser gun to the blond giant's crotch, he doesn't flick a muscle. Even though he can't feel pain, his muscles would still react to the electricity and send him into spasms.
    • Quotes

      Lisbeth Salander: I don't know why I didn't say goodbye.

      Dragan Armanskij: You don't care about other people. You treat your friends like dirt, it's as simple as that.

    7/10
    Exciting thriller, although unable to keep up with its predecessor
    Perspective: I am 25, Danish (thus understanding Swedish) and have not read the books.

    "The Girl Who Played with Fire" continues smoothly from were "Men Who Hate Women" left off, and lets you easily connect with the core characters. Salander, Blomkvist and the Millennium crew are as usual exposing the darker sides of society and confronting the perpetrators, while Salander being under pressure from all directions.

    Where the cruelty and surprises of its predecessor were essential for making it stand out among thrillers, I find this movie more mainstream in storyline and creativity. Salander has lost some of her mysterious goth charm, and the sex trafficking theme is only touched very softly, turning the movie into a regular investigation with a familiar cast of characters.

    The movie is worth watching, but it's my impression that you should rather read the book first, to get a much deeper insight in the great novel.
