User Reviews

Great adaptation of the novel. I love the Swedish version of the series of films so much more than the US remakes.

Not as good as the first one, but still a solid movie.

Dark and complex action. Good adaptation of the novel.

Pretty solid sequel that deals with some skeletons a little closer to home. A lot of poorly prepared people going into risky situations.

Great adaptation! Relatively close to the book, great cast, great visuals, great everything.. Loved the book, love this movie even more!

It's slightly weaker than the first one, and you can tell the difference in tone which is a shame as this was my favorite of the novels!

Writing seemed pretty lazy in this instalment with a less interesting overall premise.

Worse than the first part but better than the third.

Great adaptation of the book. Really well acted and gripping throughout. Couldn't tear me away if you tried!

I thought the pacing was a bit odd but still enjoyable.
