Now this run of adaptations of Stieg Larsson's novels is concluded it feels like a self-contained film (Millennium: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) followed by one long movie split in two.
This picks up from a near-cliffhanger, the heroine traumatised after being shot in the head and buried alive.
Unusually for a trilogy, this set offers three different styles: Dragon Tattoois a leisurely mystery, Played With Fireis an action thriller, and Hornets' Nestis a paranoid conspiracy tale with courtroom drama thrown in.
