Both films were the latest installments in the Alien and Sherlock Holmes franchises, respectively, and should have been big hits unfortunately, they were also incredibly disappointing. That’s not to say she wasn’t absolutely fine as archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw in Prometheus, or as the gypsy fortune-teller Simza in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Yet since this star-making role, Rapace hasn’t been able to find another that so perfectly suits her unusual beauty, inherent toughness and uninhibited nature.
Lisbeth Salander, if played by a less capable performer, could have come off as just a prototypical “strong female character” in steel-toed boots, but Rapace managed to fill every facet of the character with enough fire and fury to set the screen alight.
The Swedish actress rose to prominence as the pierced punk hacker Lisbeth Salander in the original adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, her performance a bold, brave display of badassery that still had its vulnerable moments. Hollywood just can’t figure out what to do with Noomi Rapace.
