Ever sit down for a test, only to realise that you somehow
missed two-thirds of the study material you needed to pass it? That’s what
watching this film feels like. The story is all over the place on its own
merits, tantalising a battle of wits between reigning badass cyber punk Lisbeth
Salander (played with a continually-wavering accent by Claire Foy) and her twin
sister Camilla (played adequately by Sylvia Hoeks), only we never quite get
that. What we do get is a slurry of
spy shenanigans, cat-and-mouse games winding around each other, and enough
missed opportunities to make one slam their head against a wall in frustration.
