The Girl Who Kicked the Hornest Nest (2010)

Final entry in the Swedish film adaption of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. This is the 'court room drama' episode of the trilogy, even though very little of it takes place in a courtroom, its mostly preparing for Lisbeth's trial. It really works as the conclusion to a trilogy, even though Larsson is reported to have planned writing this series more or less indefinitely prior to his early death. The plot threads of the previous films are wrapped up nicely, there's closure, but with out definitively ending everything. Again this has to be viewed as part of a whole, if your not familiar with the first two installments watching this would seem rather pointless. ***1/2
