FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

The Girl Who Played with Fire


Rating: 7

Starring: Naomi Rapace, Michael Nygvist

Genre:Mystery/Drama (with English Subtitles)

This is the second in the trilogy of films based on the popular novels by the late Steig Larsson. Lisbeth (Rapace) returns home to Sweden after moving around various foreign venues, and soon is the target of police investigating three murders. Michael (Nyqvist), her journalist friend from the past, believes she is innocent and sets out to get to the bottom of things. I didn’t like this one as much as “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. The plot was not as interesting to me and the violence seemed needlessly graphic. Still, it’s an absorbing mystery with some colorful characters and well worth seeing.
