The Girl who kicked the hornets nest - DVD review

This is the third in the series of Swedish language adaptions of the novels of Stieg Larsson.  In some ways I enjoyed the film more than the book.  The slightly wayward plot of the book has been edited down for some slightly more punchy storytelling.  Having said that, 140 minute Swedish courtroom dramas are not really 'punchy' by their very nature.

I always like Swedish films because I love the scenery and I love Stockholm.  The story is involving enough if you have seen the earlier films or read the books.  I have to admit that I did get a bit of an air-punching buzz every time one of the many bad guys met their fates.

A decent film but only if you have watched the first two.
