Here it is at last - The Girl...Trilogy (Extended Version) - all three of Steig Larsson's severely bleak, harrowing novels from the Millenium Trilogy, powerfully adapted onto film and now available in one package on DVD and Blu-ray. Larsson's ingeniously complex, disturbingly traumatic plots are expertly brought to life by Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander and Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens with Swedish journalist Mikael Blomquist, part owner of Millennium magazine, being prosecuted for libel after being set-up... by crooked financial tycoon Hans-Erik Wennestrom. After being investigated by Milton Security's best researcher, Lisbeth Salander, an irascible, rebellious computer hacker (known as Wasp) with a photographic memory and Asperger's syndrome, Blomquist is given the opportunity to step out of the limelight at Millennium for six months prior to the start of his prison sentence. He accepts the chance to work for Henrik Vanger and sets about trying to solve the 40 year old disappearance of Vanger's niece with Salander's help.
The Girl Who Played with Fire picks up the story after Blomquist's release from prison. He returns to Millenium and single mindedly launches into exposing those responsible for a multi-million dollar sex-trafficking racket he has been given leads into. Salander finds she has been blamed for several murders and has to disappear to avoid capture but she hacks into Blomquist computer to help him solve the case remotely. As Blomquist begins to try and clear Salander's name he discovers secrets from her past which are sickeningly connected to his on-going investigation.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest -the final instalment - sees Salander in hospital recovering from injury after the showdown with her father in the previous episode. Still accused of multiple murders and living with the threat of being murdered herself, Salander's only chance is to tell her story through Blomquist and Millennium magazine. Only by clearing her name and exposing a corrupt government department can she avoid being locked up forever by paedophile psychologist Teleborian. Blomquist manages to smuggle a hand-held computer into Salander's room and she sends him the horrific tale of her institutionalised childhood during which she suffered gross physical and sexual abuse by many of her carers.
Gritty, unsettling, distressing, moving - a must-have for devotees of Stieg Larsson's extraordinary books.
