The Girl Who Played With Fire | Ratings & Reviews

"This subpar Nordic crimer, leaves ample room for improvement for the inevitable U.S. remake."

VarietyVariety

"While The Girl Who Played With Fire is pacier and more of a blockbuster than The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, you may end up feeling that the best is yet to come in the third and final outing."

TVNZTVNZ

"Ms. Rapace, tiny and agile, her steely rage showing now and then the tiniest crack of vulnerability, belongs to another dimension altogether. She makes this movie good enough, but also makes you wish it were much better."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Relentless suspense allows The Girl Who Played With Fire to hold you in a viselike grip. But it’s the performances of Nyqvist and especially Rapace that keep you coming back for more."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"The Girl Who Played With Fire is very good, but a step down from “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” if only because that film and its casting were so fresh and unexpected."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Though the thriller is in the hands of a different filmmaking team this time led by Swedish director Daniel Alfredson and screenwriter Jonas Frykberg, they've kept the searing intelligence and ruthless bent."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Noir never has been this dark."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A lot happens in two hours but we're left wondering what the point of it all is, especially for those who haven't read the books; there's nothing to hang on to here. With a confusing plot full of holes and only cardboard characters to watch, there's no intrigue, no suspense and certainly no love lost. The girl may play with fire, but she has sadly lost her spark."
