Now fired, he seeks Lisbeth’s help in stealing the program so he can destroy it. I don’t foresee it overtaking Bohemian Rhapsody. She inhabits the part. As a thriller with some sexual overtones, it does well.

With a budget of $43 million, it projects to make $10- $15 million this weekend in the US. On the other hand, Sylvia Hoeks, as Camilla Salander is cast perfectly. He needs to channel some of Daniel Craig’s intensity. But, given the history of her abuse and the level of violence in her past, the director feels compelled to film this in the dark with no hint of humor. The Girl in the Spiders Web — 3.5 Gavels 59% Rotten Tomatoes Posted on November 8, 2018 by TMJ And, as played by Noomi Rapace, Rooney Mara, and now Claire Foy, a girl on a mission. The opening credits give a nod to James Bond movies, but Lisbeth makes no attempt to be Jane Bond. Still, the action, the twists, and the viciousness grab the audience. You could do a lot worse.
