Luftslottet som sprängdes "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" (2009)

This is a very fitting end to the wild ride that this series truly was. Released in the US dubbed in English, I highly recommend watching in the original Swedish and letting the subtitles do their thing. There is not really that much dialogue anyway.

This addition has far less action and violence than the first two - well, except for the last 10 minutes. Don't miss them. Seriously, they tie the entire work together in one of the tidiest endings I've ever seen.

This movie is more of a psychological-courtroom drama than the psycho-thrillers that preceded it. There are plenty of answers to questions raised previously and a few new questions asked that are left for the audience to ponder. Brilliant storytelling.

Don't get me wrong there is plenty in this movie to be uncomfortable about, but less of it.

Do you need to see the first two to get this one? No, but you should see them to truly appreciate the final episode.

Watch this movie with someone who may or may not feel paranoid sometimes.
