Another round

Rating: 5/10 (7 January 2012)

Strange thing, this Stieg Larsson-hype abroad. His books are very Swedish and you have to live here to understand the social criticism and the satire, which is also in them. Besides, Larsson writes from a clearly politically left perspective. You find nothing of that here.
Anyway, this is lame and stiff. It's like just any average filmed crime story and there are many like them. The actors certainly don't behave Swedish in any way, except for Lisbeth Sallander, who really hasn't any typical nationality at all. Not in the books and not here.
It's all made for the international market, which doesn't stop the Swedish version to be the better adaptation.
