The final installment of the "Millenium trilogy" – Lisbeth Salander is fighting for her life in more ways than one. In intensive care and charged with three murders, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

If you've seen the two earlier films in this trilogy, this is a must see. It wraps up the story and explains all that has gone on before. If you haven't seen the two earlier films, you'd probably be ahead to pass on this one as I don't think you'd get much out of it. There's not as much action in this summation since a great deal of the story is a courtroom drama where all is finally explained. In Swedish with English subtitles.
