The Girl Who Played with Fire

A few weekends ago a friends and i had nothing better to do, so we sat down and started the Girl Who Played With Fire. Both my friend and I had seen and read the girl with the dragon tattoo so we knew well what we were getting into.

The movie starts off exactly where the previous movies ends, and i LOVE that. There is nothing I hate more than starting off a sequel somewhere random. I wont spoil anything but the story line consist of a journalist researching sex trafficking setting out to clear and defend the name of Lisbeth. Lisbeth finds herself in contact and conflict with her past, and conquering a large portion of the revenge she set out for.

The director Daniel Alfredson, with a seemingly small repertoire sets out and creates a large film, and in my opinion does a beautiful job. I really enjoy the clean cut filming in contrast with the rather rough and raged story line and characters. The suspense was as unique as Alfred Hitchcock and his use of suspense. Often in the movie i was surprised by the next action, although having read the book. With a budget of €4,000,000 (estimated), or $5.2 million i was impressed by the wonderful acting, location and use of resources.

I cant seem to find enough words to express the magnitude that this this movie has. It is 1.an amazing movie MATCHING the amazing book 2. a thriller that makes you think 3.beautiful and captivating to say the least. I really really enjoy the journey that the movie took me on.WARNING: this movie is NOT appropriate for anyone under 17, to say the least... there are a few inappropriate sexual scenes.
