DEATH 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. 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. The two films are halves of the same story and really have to be seen in unison to get the full picture.I loved the film. It tells the unusual story of a notebook that has the power to kill anybody whose name is written in it. 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. 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. 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.The young Japanese cast are very good at playing different roles. There are parts for strong women here, along with well-reasoned men. Much of the scene-stealing goes to the central pairing. 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. His transformation from hero to villain is handled very neatly and in a totally believable way. 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.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. This creation, along with Gollum in the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, is what these effects were invented for in the first place.Like a lot of the best Japanese films, DEATH NOTE i
