5/10
A smörgåsbord disaster

Warning: Spoilers
Everybody speaks German, even the Chinese and Yanks, but they're supposed to be speaking Swedish. The plot is over the top and riddled with ludicrous plot holes. 19 people get slaughtered in one village, some 4-5 at a time and they arrest a guy playing music in one of the houses who has no blood on him, and who stuck around? The bad guy gets shot 2-3 times, yet manages to leave the country? Our heroine chases him to china....to do what exactly? When she finds him she runs. She gets her purse stolen but returned by a stranger who knows she is Swedish and speaks the language, and she doesn't catch on? Worst of all Michael Nykvist gets to do nothing but act as concerned husband. The Swedish cop insists on fingering an innocent despite mounting evidence to the contrary, until he commits suicide, then she admits he's innocent. Who vetted, or didn't this crap?
