Death note is a amazing movie that takes you on a ride that continully goes up and down and even stright sometimes. Following the anime nearly spot on you think it would just be a cheap rehash of a anime made to real life to make some quick movie. But it ain't The movie has its own feel and is different from the anime. Great to show to someone if they never saw the anime and you want them to get intrested into the anime.

Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies upset with the current justice system light takes matters into his own hands and vows to use the power of the death note to rid the world of all evil, and become "the god of the new world."

Light realizes that L will be his greatest enemy, and a game of psychological cat and mouse between the two begins. This movie is creepy and chilling and also goofy.
