Girl Who Played with Fire (2009) Extended

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 10 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

This last option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs.

Plot – Spoilers:
Sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire follows Lisbeth Salander (who is now financially stable from the millions she siphoned) as she returns to Sweden and gets her own place. It’s also the first time we are given proper indication that Lisbeth is bisexual.

Mikael Blomkvist meanwhile is onto his next story. One about human trafficking involving customers in prominent positions. The depth of this prostitution ring soon emerges when the journalist couple researching the story are shot dead. Getting to the bottom of the racket soon becomes Blomkvist’s next obsession especially when all evidence and circumstances point to Lisbeth being the killer.

The Girl Who Played with Fire focuses more on the investigative aspects of the case without getting into the depravity of human trafficking and chooses to give us a better understanding of Lisbeth’s character and childhood.

Favorite Scenes:
When Lisbeth has got Sandstrom strung up and is interrogating him, he breaks down at the memory of an incident involving a blond man (Nidermann) who was “pure muscle.”
When you first hear this description, it does feel a bit strange and you wonder – why would Sandstrom remember this man with such awe and terror. Later when Paolo, the boxer, attempts to fight Niedermann in the barn, the latter’s reactions to a professional boxer’s punches sort of justify a memory about “pure muscle,” though we later learn the medical reason behind Nidermann’s obliviousness to pain.

Millennium Trilogy:

Any type of subtitles is non-existent? Am I the only one that doesn’t speak Swedish?

The guy who wrote this obviously died from being a retarded asshole. A terminal case.

While some tardigrade species can live in both freshwater and saltwater, most species are either primarily freshwater or marine, with distinct characteristics depending on their environment. which got me thinking. it’s all too obvious, that the range of clouds, never vary between 8,500 feet, to 10,500 feet? so that clouds at 10,500 feet generated cold blood, while clouds at 8,500 feet generated warm blood?🙂whereas tardigrades needed a variance in nitrogen, thus the 3rd middle ground?🙄

Two down, one to go.

This all started when a friend brought over a dvd for us to watch – “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” with Daniel Craig. I’m not a big fan of Craig’s but it was a pretty good flick. And that inspired me to watch the original trio. Thanking you once again, admins, for just being you!

So far, so good. A little over produced and a couple of WTFs, but well worth a watch.
