Directed by Daniel Alfredson
Starring: Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist

“Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) is after men who hate women. They’re after the woman who hates men who hate women. Thus we have a thinking person’s thriller with some of the elements of Hollywood blockbusters but still comes to us as distinct from the generic American-style action-adventure pics. What separates “Fire” from blockbusters like “Knight and Day” is the dialogue: thoughtful, authentic, using a wide vocabulary, a film in which what the people say is even more involving than the adrenaline-raising physicality. If there were two principal villains in the first part of the trilogy, namely a fanatical Swedish Nazi and the son whom he trained to kill women, there is a seven-foot tall fellow this time (think of “Jaws” in the James Bond episode “The Spy Who Loved Me”) who has a genetic disorder that some of us wish we had: he cannot feel pain. Punch him in the head, give him the taser treatment that was so effective in Part One, forget it. He shrugs his opponents off, though in one case he should have checked that his victim was dead before walking away.

The action takes place one year after crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) has seen Lisbeth. Having successfully vindicated himself after a prison sentence for libel by proving the case against a gun-runner, he is now in pursuit of a story of sex slavery. Hookers, some underage, are being transported from Eastern Europe and Thailand into Sweden. When a fellow journalist pursuing the story is found murdered, Lisbeth is suspected since her prints are on the gun, which prompts Mikael, apparently Lisbeth’s only friend, to prove her innocence by exposing the real killers. We learn more about Mikael than we did during the first episode. He has a sexual relationship with Erika, a fellow journalist and must live with the accusation by police agents that he is nothing but an amateur gumshoe who should leave the cop stuff to those trained for the profession. Daniel Alfredson’s direction is more straightforward than Niels Arden Oplev’s: not so many extreme close-ups nor does Alfredson do as much to show Sweden as a place that foreign tourists might like to visit. We’re told to wait until mid-October for a celluloid adaptation of the third episode, “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest,” at which point we may learn what gave Lisbeth the idea for that tattoo provided that she survives the torment that she faced in this second installment." - Harvey Karten.
