Millennium Trilogy

There are truly only a handful of film trilogies out there that actually live up to the expectations, that are great all the way through. These trilogies tend to fall into fantasy or action realms but here’s an awesome trilogy that falls into more of a mystery/thriller category. The Millennium Trilogy consists of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest. Not only are good trilogies rare but even more rare, a foreign one. France put out the Red/White/Blue trilogy a good 20 years ago but even that hype fell way short. These films though, originally from Sweden, excel in a lot of ways. The acting and the action are superb and of course one can’t go wrong when you have Stieg Larsson’s material to draw from. Very highly recommended viewing, have already seen each a couple of times and frankly, I have zero desire to see the remake. The sensational and oddly hot Noomi Rapace will next be seen in Prometheus, continuing that Alien story. Catch them all on Netflix streaming.
