The Girl In The Spider's Web

I saw The Girl In The Spider's Web, the latest installment of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, and thought it was very good. Lisbeth is played by Claire Foy this time out.

There is a bondage scene, as when Lisbeth is captured by the bad guys and has her hands tied behind her.

Although Noomi Rapace will always be the "true" Lisbeth for me, I thought Foy was very good in this part.

Spider's Web places Lisbeth in a giant rubber vacuum bag, which gets all of the air sucked out.

Not a very comfy situation for Lisbeth, but then, that's supposed to be the point.

I don't believe it was Foy inside the bag in these scenes, but a stunt double.

Thankfully, Lisbeth breaks free. And it appears that she was nude inside the bag. I'm not a big fan of this type of bondage, but to each his own.

Spider's Web was en enjoyable lark that's much more an action film than a mystery. It's nice to see Lisbeth back in action against a truly formidable villain. I hope they make more of these with Foy in the lead role.

The Girl In The Spider's Web

Author Stieg Larsson created one of the most indelible characters in Lisbeth Salander, a hacker who is also the ultimate warrior when it comes to seeking justice for victims of horrendous crimes. Although Larsson passed away, his character lives on in a new book (written by another author) and now a new movie called The Girl In The Spider's Web.

I'm glad to see Lisbeth return, especially since it looks like she will be the focal point of this story, which she should be, because she's such a fascinating person. Claire Foy (The Crown) will be playing her this time. Rooney Mara played Lisbeth in the 2011 remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, directed by David Fincher. Noomi Rapace was the first (and best, IMO) actress to play Lisbeth in the original Swedish films based on Larsson's first three books.

There's also a scene in the trailer showing a woman trapped in a vacuum sealed mummified suit.

Is this Lisbeth? We'll see soon enough when the film comes out. I'm looking forward to this one, even if it didn't have a scene of interest.
