People die in Death Note.
A high school boy named Light Turner finds a mysterious notebook on the ground during a rain storm. When he discovers that it’s a magic notebook that allows him to kill people by writing down their names, he uses it to wipe crime and injustice off the face of the earth. However, killing by magical means is still murder, and his actions spark an international manhunt. Can Light stay ahead of the police — and out of jail?
This is Death Note, a Netflix original movie adapted from a 2003 manga by the duo of Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba. Unfortunately, this adaptation falls far short of its source material, even accounting for its short length.
