Fiendishly unusual, it's an offbeat time-waster that genre fans will definitely want to make a note of.April 17, 2008
while Death Note may boast what is in every sense a killer concept, it's rather blandly directed, repetitive, over-explained and overlongSeptember 11, 2012
An entertaining, creepy, and beautifully written horror film...May 19, 2008
If you love good story telling, an intricate plot, cute young Japanese stars, and a punky shinigami, you won't find a film better than Death Note... unless it's Death Note 2.April 25, 2008
Towards the end things grow darker and more complex, leading to a satisfyingly emotive and unresolved finale and leaving the door wide for the inevitable and welcome sequel.May 14, 2008
In thinking about what I'd do with a Death Note... I'd probably write my own name in the notebook while watching this movie.December 30, 2008
It's like Infernal Affairs/The Departed crossed with Devilman, Primal Fear and Drop Dead Fred. If that combination doesn't scream "Watch me!" to you, well, you're wrong.April 25, 2008
Inspired in places, it unfortunately plods for most of the run time.August 28, 2008
The combatants' mano-a-mano gamesmanship has such pulpy inventiveness that your inner fan-boy will most assuredly rejoice.
