Light is a young college student who finds a notebook which gives him the extraordinary power to kill anyone whose name he writes down on its pages. At first he executes only bad guys and criminals, but soon, Light begins to justify killing the good guys who track him down, including FBI agents. Soon, his life becomes a cat and mouse game between the mysterious computer genius L and Light with society caught in the middle.
This was an interesting film with a thought provoking premise, however, I lost empathy for Light really quickly and that sort of killed my enjoyment. Light showed no remorse ever for the deaths he caused but instead seemed to revel in the attention and the challenge.
This film is a teen drama, based on a manga/anime series and will appeal to fans of those genres. I thought the premise was clever but without an engaging character whose motives I sympathized with, I just lost interest. The ending was a surprise, but screamed cliffhanger!Get more detail about Death Note (Live Action).
