About The Girl Who Played with Fire
Mikael Blomkvist, publisher of Millennium magazine, has made his living exposing the crooked and corrupt practices of establishment Swedish figures.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
