The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest

“The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest”, the last of the three Swedish films based on the books by Stieg Larrson again stars Lena Endre, Michael Hyquist and Noomi Rapace (playing the wild and adventurous character Noomi Salander). Directed by Daniel Alfredson,who also directed the immediately preceding film, this is an involved and detailed story of action and courtroom drama which will, despite the length and slow pacing of the film, hold the viewer’s interest. At one point, when I thought the film had ended, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did not and some really exciting and interesting scenes were yet to follow. As an aside but relevant to the quality of the film, I was able to remain focused and involved in the film despite some patrons sitting near me who constantly chatted and unwrapped candy during the film. I give the film 3 stars and urge those who enjoyed the 2 prior films to see this for, although perhaps not the best of the lot in general, it is the most interesting of the three.
