THE Dragon Tattoo franchise has had a curious journey.

First saw the low-budget yet effective trilogy starring Noomi Rapace nearly a decade ago. Then a couple of years later director David Fincher gave it the Hollywood treatment, parachuting in Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara to brilliant effect.

While this is classed as a sequel to Fincher’s, none of the original team returned. It focuses on Swedish goth-hacker Lisbeth Salander – played by Claire Foy – who is hired to “steal back” some software from the National Security Agency.

Naturally, it falls into the wrong hands, someone from Salander’s past, and she must overcome all that malarkey while getting her hands on the program without either the NSA (represented by the excellent Lakeith Stanfield) or the baddies getting it back. Looking around, this film has been mauled as sacrilege and cliché. Poppycock. Aside from some pretty ludicrous plot holes, I really enjoyed it.

There are some incredibly entertaining set pieces that much larger films would be proud of. Aesthetically this pushed all my buttons – mainly because I have the same motorbike as Salander.

Treat this as a female Bourne/Ethan Hunt and you will have a great time.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
