Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), the petite, damaged but genius computer hacker and tattoed tough girl, is back as is journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Mikael Nyqvist). He and his colleagues have decided to publish an exposé about a sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden. They know that it will rock their country as it implicates well-known and poweful members of Swedish society. On the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters, a young couple, are brutally murdered. When the fingerprints on the murder weapon are Lisbeth Salander’s, only spurned lover Blomkvist believes in her innocence. As he follows Lisbeth, to find her before something horrible happens, he learns much about her tortured past and much about the nastiness of some of his fellow countrymen. In Swedish with English subtitles. |
