DEATH NOTE 2006 FILM TV

Special effects are mostly limited to a demonic 'death god' who's always hovering on Light's shoulder he's voiced effectively by Shido Nakamura (LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA) and I'm pleased to say that the CGI effects used to animate him are excellent. Ken'ichi Matsuyama, as the crime-fighting L, is equally good in an unusual part: for most of the film's he's sitting on a sofa eating confectionery. His transformation from hero to villain is handled very neatly and in a totally believable way. As the arch-villain Light, Tatsuya Fujiwara (BATTLE ROYALE) is ethereal and spooky a handsome young man with a woman's eyes in his head. Much of the scene-stealing goes to the central pairing. There are parts for strong women here, along with well-reasoned men. The young Japanese cast are very good at playing different roles. If I had to pick a film it's closest to I think I'd choose UNBREAKABLE, as both films are realistic but with a clear comic book influence. Just when you think you know where the film's going to go, it changes direction, pulls the rug out from under you, and piles on the twists and surprises. It's a bit of an unwieldy premise, but in the hands of the filmmakers here it becomes a quite wonderful little thriller that's completely impossible to predict. It tells the unusual story of a notebook that has the power to kill anybody whose name is written in it.

The two films are halves of the same story and really have to be seen in unison to get the full picture. This film came out in 2006 and is in reality the first of a two parter, with the sequel entitled DEATH NOTE: THE LAST NAME. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 8 / 10 Slow-moving, but it's perfectly doneДEATH NOTE is an atypical, unusual comic book story from Japan, based on a popular manga that itself was turned into a long-running anime series. Throughout the film, I kept expecting him to whip out a yellow pepper and eat it, but unfortunately he did not! One final note is that the guy playing Light's father is Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef. In light of this, I really think this live-action film is good entertainment for all. And, my insane 'sold my soul to anime' teen loved the film as well. My wife generally hates anime and loved the film. I am much more of a casual fan of the genre and enjoyed the film immensely. However, for the uninitiated, please try to suspend judgment-the film can be enjoyed by anyone-not just anime/manga fans. If you are already an anime/manga freak, then you probably will not be scared away by the odd plot line and story elements about the supernatural. But as for the rest of the film, it is true to the original-Light is an evil piggie and L looks and acts much like a cockroach (like in the anime).ДЄs for the story itself, it's a pretty hard film to describe for Western audiences. Early on, she's about as superfluous as a vestigial tail, but later she becomes an important part of the plot-you'll see. However, I advise you to relax and give the film a chance-I actually LOVED what they did with the lady in the film. In the anime and manga, there was no girlfriend and so my purist daughter complained loudly when she appeared in the film. They are both relatively similar, though the plot lines have been moved around a bit and a girlfriend was created for the main character, Light.
