A researcher and a Millennium journalist about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and violent behavior makes her an official danger to society.
"More gripping than Dragon Tattoo, because this one doesn't just play with thriller conventions -- it puts them to work." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"Relentless suspense! Holds you in a viselike grip. Noomi Rapace is spectacular." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

My streaming tv computer has an Intel i5 quad core with 6GB of fast memory and an ATI 6450 video card. I am using an HDMI interface from the card to the television.
At first I suspected the wall outlet having a voltage event, but the crashes were repeatable to the second! There are no issues with my Panasonic television. Thanks for your support. I am enjoying your service.

If anyone out there likes a tightly wound thriller, this is it. I read the book 8 or 9 years ago and the movie closely follows the book. Have fun watching.
Good thriller. Fun to see Sweden, too.
Excellent Thriller. Mastery of suspense!
