great film

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2010)

This is a great film and deserves to be rated higher. I am very fussy about films but was captivated by the whole trilogy - if you like the first film then it is well worth watching the next two as well. The acting is subtle and not overplayed, and there's no dramatic music and cheesiness that you get in your usual dose of US blockbuster - it is a genuine thriller and great to have such a strong and multilayered female character. The very last scene at the end of the third film ("the girl who kicked the hornets nest") sums up the whole three films. Why oh why are they doing a remake with Daniel Craig, what a mistake, the original is excellent and perfectly fine to watch with subtitles.
