Thank you! I have seen considerably more film noir since this post and stand by my assessment. I have also gained considerably more experience of the Production Code and it's right up there for terrible things to happen to the American sense of ethics.
I saw the Norwegian one first, and haven't seen either since 2002. I don't especially remember the plot, but I still do remember feeling like making it into an American action movie was fully missing what'd made the first one so good. Though Hilary Swank is very hot, so there is that.

I hope she got her own neo-noir.
