Part One of Death Note live-action movie is basically the few episodes (about 12) of Death Note. For those who haven’t seen the anime or read the manga it’s about a boy (Light) who finds a note book (Death Note) which has the power to kill people just by writing the name of a person into the book while picturing their face. Using the book Light kills off criminals in order to create his utopia. I was amazed at how they compressed so much content into 2 hours or so. Although it slightly differs from the anime the main plot sticks fairly close to its animated counterpart. If you’ve seen the anime I would recommend this live action movie just to see the computer generated Ryuk (Shinigami) and L who actually looks like the animated character. As for the main character Light it seems like they just picked a random Japanese actor and dyed his hair orange. If you enjoyed this movie then you should finish it off by watching the part two.
