The Girl In The Spider's Web

Fired from the National Security Agency, Frans Balder recruits hacker Lisbeth Salander to steal FireWall, a computer program that can access codes for nuclear weapons worldwide. The download soon draws attention from an NSA agent who traces the activity to Stockholm. Further problems arise when Russian thugs take Lisbeth's laptop and kidnap a math whiz who can make FireWall work. Now, Lisbeth and an unlikely ally must race against time to save the boy and recover the codes to avert disaster.

Critic Reviews:

• " I think it suffers to some extent from some creaky dialogue…but the thing that holds it together is that Claire Foy surprisingly convincing. " – Mark Kermode

• " A fast-paced, high-octane espionage action flick with superhero flourishes. " – Matthew Norman

• " Fede Alvarez is a fine action director, and his exciting set-pieces provide decent compensation for Lisbeth's now omnipotent skills. " – Tara Brady
