The Girl In The Spider's Web was an attempt to make the character of Lisbeth--from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo--into more of a mainstream-type of hero. It was based on a book that wasn't written by the late Stieg Larsson, creator of the character in the original Millennium book series. However, the original novel that The Girl In The Spider's Web is based on, written by David Lagercrantz, is superb (and is nothing like the movie, which makes changes in the book's storyline).
While I thought Claire Foy was very good as Lisbeth, she and the Spider Web film overall lacked the intensity of the earlier films, with the original Lisbeth actress Noomi Rapace giving a brilliant performance in the full Millennium cinematic trilogy.
And Rooney Mara was fantastic as Lisbeth in David Fincher's American remake of Dragon Tattoo.
But Spider's Web has a nice little surprise. When Lisbeth is captured in Spider's Web, she's put through some very special paces.
At first she's tied in the traditional bondage, with her hands bound behind her back. But then she's placed in a vacuum sack.
When all of the air has been sucked out, Lisbeth is unable to breathe--until her sister, the villain, cuts a breathing hole for her. Lisbeth's sister, Camilla, played by the wonderful Sylvia Hoeks (who was also excellent as Luv in Blade Runner 2049), can't help but gloat over Lisbeth one more time.
Camilla reseals the hole with wax, sealing Lisbeth to a slow death by asphyxiation. But Lisbeth still manages to make her escape. During her time in the vacuum bag, Lisbeth is barefoot and stripped down to her panties.
I still would have liked to have seen more adventures with Foy's Lisbeth, but sadly, Spider's Web was the only movie they did. Maybe the Lisbeth character can be rebooted once more in the future.
