3/5

Fiendishly unusual, it's an offbeat time-waster that genre fans will definitely want to make a note of.

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.

Inspired in places, it unfortunately plods for most of the run time.

while Death Note may boast what is in every sense a killer concept, it's rather blandly directed, repetitive, over-explained and overlong

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.

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.
