The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)

Lisbeth Salander is closely watched in the intensive care unit of the Swedish city hospital. She fights for life, and not only in the physical sense: when she feels well enough, she will face trial on charges of three murders and one attempt …

Michael Nyqvist is simply gorgeous here. His character was fully developed throughout the trilogy. Hence, if in the first tape we saw some shyness with Mikael, then here he appears in the image of a truly obsessed journalist who is ready to risk his life for the sake of the article. Played on emotions and very much. Although once again, all the actors remain in the shadow of Numi Rapas, who once again was not afraid to “disfigure” herself for the role. A kind of punk style with a mohawk on his head, he looked damn cool and unwittingly created associations with the album covers of the cult punk band The Exploited. Numi played damn hard. Especially considering that the whole film is based on the emotions and past of her heroine. The other actors are equally good as always. Mikke Spraits, however, turned his Niederman here into a real killing machine, which kills everyone left and right, without even a remorse.
