Well, just watched the 3rd cut of the Millennium Saga..The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.
Brilliantly done! The first "...with Dragon Tattoo" kind of stayed with me as it set the precedence of the saga. Soon after that I got to watch 2nd part "The Girl who played with fire"...and it was even better as it goes into the past of the girl. But this final version is so well done. Its got suspense, justice served cold and hot, in the courtroom and outside of it, some great characters and a great storyline overall. Editing is brilliant as there are no gaps or abrupt turns in the story. You can predict where this is going to go but the devil is in the details and it plays out well.
Kind of reminds me Bourne trilogy..each part built up to the next one, except the mentality on the viewer's part since you need more concentration to watch Lisbeth Salander as compared to Jason Bourne as the former hardly has 30 minutes of dialogues in all 3 parts combined but a lot of body language. I will have to watch Noomi Rapace's career now and see if she lives up to the performances.

The Cineholic : EXAM
Just saw EXAM on Netflix. Its sort of a last step of a long interview process involving 8 people, all taking place in one room but under a mind bending scenario. And all that suspense comes down to a small aptitude ability. How crazy is that!.. Reminds me of what my Math teacher used to say..."hold 2 fingers out and focus out on them..you will see 4. Hence, concentrate at the solution and not the problem"...go figure!...
An "A-" rating from me. Here is the official site...enjoy
