Movie 2009.03.13 - Death Note

Premise sounds interesting, but the movie/plot is not well-developed. This is vigilantism - Japanese manga style. University student Light Yagami comes across a Death Note dropped by a shinigami called Ryuk. Light starts to discover the Death Note's special power. By writing a person's name in the notebook and describing how the person dies, the notebook will make it so. With the Death Note, Light starts his quest to rid Japan and the world of all crime and evil.

With so many sudden and unexplained deaths among criminals, the International Police Organization starts an investigation, with Light's father as lead. They also got this eccentric youngster called L to help them. With the investigators closing in, Kira (Light's pseudonym) starts killing them off one by one. He even killed off his own girlfriend in a elaborate setup to draw attention away from him. And cut. Time for a sequel.
