    Based on Stieg Larsson's second novel, The Girl Who Played With Fire is a literary work adapted to film. Lisbeth Salander (Rapace) is a wanted woman. A researcher and a Millennium journalist about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and violent behavior makes her an official danger to society. Mikael Blomkvist (Nyqvist), Salander's friend and Millennium's publisher, is alone in his belief of Salander's innocence. Digging deeper, Blomkvist unearths evidence implicating highly placed members of Swedish society—as well as shocking details about Salander's past. He is desperate to get to her before she is cornered—but no one can find her anywhere. (Gary Reber)

    Part of the four-disc "Dragon Tatoo" Trilogy Extended Edition, there are no special features on this disc, only up-front previews.


    Reason #65 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it is an informative source on A/V equipment and entertainment. The many excellent reviews on DVDs (and Laser Discs, back in the day), as well as surround music, have led me to some real gems!
