7/10
a word of warning
25 October 2008
If you know the Death Note manga/anime/film series, be forewarned that this film has very little to do with the concept of Death Notes and Shinigami. The only connection is the character "L", who is played very well, again, by Ken'ichi Matsuyama, He played "L" in Death Note (2006) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758742/ and Death Note 2:The Last Name http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810827/

"L", or L Lawliet to his friends... oh yeah, he hasn't any... is one of the coolest characters in manga/anime history, and Ken'ichi Matsuyama plays him as well as anyone could, IMHO.

This is a good film nevertheless, but the plot has nothing to do with the Death Notes of the previous films. That's all, folks! :)
