Dragon Tattoo is a minor masterpiece of foreign filmmaking. Dark, intense and disturbing with two great main characters and satisfying twists. Neither of the sequels reaches the heights. Hornets Nest is better than Played With Fire for me. Played With Fire is a little underwhelming. The characters aren’t as rich, the twists aren’t as exciting and it lacks the edge of the original. Still a decent thriller in its own right. Hornets Nest also doesn’t reach the heights of Tattoo and it could be argued that it works better as well as a conclusion to a 3 part story rather than as its own film (unlike the first two) but it’s still a very good watch!
