The new ‘Death Note’ Takes viewers on a dark journey
I haven’t really watched the Death Note anime. I honestly didn’t know much about it at all. Yet when I saw a live action movie was coming to Netflix I was intrigued. I was able to watch a screener of it and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Death Note here:
Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
I really liked this live action film. It told a pretty good story, and was full of surprises. It is a tale that isn’t always clear, but starts to make sense as the narrative unfolds. This version had a good cast and a pretty good soundtrack. I don’t know if fans will like it or not, but I sure did. To learn more about this live action movie click on this website.
Death Note is streaming on Netflix now. You can follow this film on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
