Adapted from a highly popular manga, with
original characters and plot twists developed only
for live-action film, Death Note finally comes to life,
directed by the renowned monster film master
Shusuke Kaneko with a theme song by Red Hot
Chili Peppers.
Ace student Light Yagami finds the Death
Note, a notebook intentionally dropped by a rogue
“Shinigami” death god named Ryuk. 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.”
A mysterious detective known only as “L”
quickly learns that the serial killer, nicknamed
“Kira” by the public, is located in Japan. Light
realizes that L will be his greatest enemy, and a
game of psychological cat and mouse between the
two begins. [Synopsis © VIZ Pictures]
