The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)
(Luftslottet som sprängdes )
Country: SW/DK/GER
Technical: col 147m
Director: Daniel Alfredson
Cast: Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace, Lena Endre, Annika Hallin
Synopsis:
Lisbeth Salander lies, convalescing from her injuries, in hospital and, while the Millennium team prepares an explosive issue and Blomkvist's sister her defence, the doctor holds off both the police and psychiatrists, who want to have her convicted for attempted murder and committed indefinitely. Meanwhile, her murderous half-brother moves closer and bides his time.
Review:
The series closes with this somewhat pedestrian, televisual drama, which resolves itself in a trial sequence that breaks more rules on admissible evidence than one would care to shake a stick at. The film adds a defence lawyer and Constitutional Defence operative to its catalogue of able and articulate female characters, who collectively reduce the male of the species to the status of corrupt, depraved or enfeebled. Rapace's performance is more than ever a triumph of 'non-acting', but Nyqvist is always worth watching and the production a paradigm of the smoothly efficient Scandinavian procedural.
