Based on the supernatural action mystery manga series illustrated by Takeshi Obata, the DEATH NOTE live action feature takes manga fans into the world of Light Yagami, a student who finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies and now Light has decided to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals mysteriously begin dying, the authorities send legendary detective L to investigate. Both Light and L believe to be on the side of justice and the two match wits trying to show exactly which of them is “good” and which is “evil.”
