On evidence of this, it is likely that this Lisbeth will suffer a similar fate of Rooney Mara's before her, one of lukewarm commercial reception and eventual abandonment.

Playing out like a boring Bond stripped of that franchise's knowing humour, the fight sequences are thoroughly unimpressive, as are the snoozesome car chases.

The Girl In The Spider's Web is nothing like the complex thriller I was expecting it to be, cramming far too much into its runtime and leaving me feeling dissatisfied.

Apart from Foy's expressive performance, layered with a controlled emotional vulnerability, its plot is extremely one dimensional and predictable. You really don't need to have read the books to figure out.
