The film’s investigation of the disappearance is an interesting storyline which keeps the film flowing nicely, whilst the character development is stunning, particularly in the great performance by Rapace as Salander.

'Girl Who Played with Fire' Review: Rapace Thrills Again. To find Lisbeth Salander administering her special form of justice to her enemies in the pages of Stieg Larsson's best-selling trilogy — or to see her incarnated onscreen by Noomi Rapace in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire, which just opened in U.S. theaters — is to acknowledge the eminence the character has so quickly achieved.

This time the crime is a sex-trafficking ring with links to the former Soviet regime and Lisbeth’s past. There is also a “wrong person” narrative with Lisbeth on the run after being accused of multiple murders that Mikael is convinced she is not guilty of. This second film has lost the telemovie feel of the first film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and it’s a slicker and tenser film, with a very cinematic car chase and a great fight scene.
