The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (2009) concludes the Swedish Millennium trilogy based on Stieg Larsson’s novels. Directed by Daniel Alfredson and starring Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander and Michael Nyqvist as journalist Mikael Blomkvist, the film picks up immediately after the previous installment with Lisbeth airlifted to a hospital in Gothenburg recovering from gunshot wounds, while she faces trial for attempted murder and three other murders. Her father Alexander Zalachenko, a former Russian spy, lies in a nearby hospital room, while a secret group within the Swedish Secret Police known as “the Section” plots to silence both Lisbeth and her father to protect their decades-old conspiracy. Blomkvist works with his sister Annika, Lisbeth’s defense attorney, to expose government corruption and clear her name in this crime thriller that shifts from action to courtroom drama.
