The final movie of the Stieg Larsson Millenium trilogy, shot in sequence and starring the same actors as the first two, brings an appropriately final but also tentative and unsatisfying end to this unlikely story of one of the most original characters in modern popular literature. Once again Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander dominates the movie. The courtroom scenes are riveting (and interesting for an American audience to see the differences in Swedish procedures). I found the unfolding story well told cinematically, and well rid of the tech details of the book. Can the upcoming American version (reportedly to be shot in Sweden) live up to the home-grown version?Rated R. 147 minutes. In Swedish with English subtitles. Daniel Alfredson - Director, Stieg Larsson - Writer (novel), Ulf Rydberg - Writer (screenplay), Soren Staermose - Producer, Peter Mokrosinski - Cinematographer, Jacob Groth -Composer, Hakan Karlsson - Editor. Produced by Norkisk Film. Distributed in the U.S. by Music Box Films.
Principal actors: Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Lena Endre, Annika Hallin, Jacob Ericksson.
