The second Swedish adaptation of Larsson's best-selling book of the same name shifts the focus on Lisbeth Salanders' origins while weaving in a new and contemporary conspiracy around human trafficking and prostitution.As with the book, it feels a little flabbier and less satisfying compared to first entry in the series. I'd rather have Salander working with Blomqvist to investigate a new mystery rather than building her mythos by wrapping her character in conspiracy.
Rapace continues to be excellent and her character's rage is a little more more contained in favour of demonstrations of her hacking skills.
Verdict: Good adaptation slightly marred by the source material.
