Director: Daniel Alfredson
Writers: Ulf Ryberg (screenplay), Stieg Larsson (novel)
Stars: Michael Nyqvist, Noomi Rapace and Lena Endre

From the beginning of this final installment of the story, you get the feeling that at the end, it will be nicely packaged and tried with a bow. Not a whole lot computer wire-taps this time around, but the old fashioned investigative work is what leads to the building of the case. The acting is pretty good. The dubbed English conversations are quite dry and somewhat emotionless at times. Perhaps, I will watch the whole series with the original Swedish + English subtitles at a later date. Very good story; I bet the novel is even better. My Rating: 7.0
