I can't comment on the other parts of this trilogy. Nor on the novels on which they are based, though friends say that the books are good. However, this film is dreadful. Firstly, it looks like second rate TV - awful mood music grinds on endlessly in the background, but there's absolutely no mood. The total lack of tension is extraordinary. The books must be gripping otherwise millions would not have bought them. I found myself mentally compiling my next shopping list. The acting ranged from adequate to poor, but you have to pity the actors given that they were not given characters to play. Maybe all the characterisation was in the previous film? Well, none of it made it this far. The the whole thing just looks shoddy. I wish that I had stayed at home and watched an episode of Wallander instead.
