The Girl in the Spider's Web Movie Review - This one lacks mystique

It's an all-out action spectacle and has a few thrilling moments but there's no soul to it. The pace is definitely hotter out here but there's not much depth in the telling.

U/A: Crime, Drama, Thriller

Rating: 
The Milllenium trilogy, authored by Stieg Larsson was adapted into 3 Swedish movies (with Naomi Rapace) that were true to their source material and provided all the thrills, mystery and adventure that any fan would expect. Hollywood though hasn't measured up. They tried to remake 'The girl with the Dragon Tattoo' with David Fincher Helming it and adding Daniel Craig to the Star list but it failed to rouse the Box-office. So the other two books in the trilogy were spared the ignominy of a sloppy adaptation. This one though sets its agenda to a composite adaptation derived by David Largercrantz, the writer of the 4th novel in the series. It's an all-out action spectacle and has a few thrilling moments but there's no soul to it. The pace is definitely hotter out here but there's not much depth in the telling. There's not much of a dark mystery to investigate and even the fancy action sequences fail to leave an imprint.
