"The Girl Who Played With Fire," the second of the movies based on the Stieg Larsson Millennium trilogy of novels, is workmanlike, advancing the further story of journalist Michael Nyqvist's investigations, and Lisbeth Salander's final attempt to settle her scores, once and for all, with her evil father. Thankfully, the three movies were shot in sequence with all creative and performing talents the same. However, perhaps endemic to its position, the middle of the three stories seems more transition than drama. It is nevertheless well done, and a must see for Larsson fans, who can only anticipate the final movie coming soon.Rated R. 129 minutes.
