| Die Burger Jeanne Calitz | 15 |  |
| Cape Times Jane Mayne Sullen Salander plays with fire | 15 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The Girl Who Played With Fire is very good, but a step down from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, if only because that film and its casting were so fresh and unexpected. | 18 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Inertia sets in even before the first hour is through and Alfredson’s plodding treatment exacerbates the weaknesses in the novel’s grisly but ludicrous finale. | 5 |  |
