Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist return as Lisbeth Salandar and Mikael Blomkvist in The Girl who Played with Fire, the first suspenseful sequel in the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Writer Blomkvist is wrapping up an expose of a major sex trafficking operation involving members of Sweden’s high society when the pair of journalists working with him are discovered shot to death. The weapon is traced back to Lisbeth’s abusive guardian – but he’s found dead, too, and Lisbeth’s fingerprints are on the gun. Now Lisbeth must use all her survival skills to unravel the mystery and keep her demonic enemies at bay while Blomkvist does his best to track her before time runs out.
“In Rapace, it has an actress who brings a memorable literary character to indelible movie life, as Vivien Leigh did for Scarlett O’Hara.” – Richard Corlis, Time Magazine
“Relentless suspense allows The Girl Who Played With Fire to hold you in a viselike grip. But it’s the performances of Nyqvist and especially Rapace that keep you coming back for more.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
