Familiarity can breed contempt, but in this case when there is a strong main character and history which you can draw on, the film can still manage to pack the punches of the series and provide twists. Of course it is not like watching all those cliffhangers and episodes, however there is enough for the fan and certainly a lot for Nordic Noir aficionados. I think that Lena could have her own spin off series too. If you think my 10 is over generous that is because quite frankly there are no other series/films that quite get me - I would say it is like someone who is drinking espressos and suddenly has tepid Earl Grey tea. Enjoy this film and go back to the series. The series and film are well scripted and the two central back stories do the business. Thanks to the director and cast for making my Sunday entertaining.
