Well, this was an amazingly satisfying film. It is the conclusion of the Swedish series of three films based on the book series by Stieg Larsson. If you've read the books, you know that this one finds Lisbeth in the hospital in the opening scenes with a bullet in her head.
These movies were all wonderfully done. Whoever wrote the script (Ulf Ryberg did this one) needed to remove entire story lines to make the movies a reasonable length (this one is 147 minutes). They were smart about what they included and what they left out. The ending of the movie is perfect - very true to the characters.
I really hope the American versions don't suck. We are not great with restraint.
