Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

***ATTENTION*** THIS MOVIE IS NOT THE ANIME. GET OVER IT. If you're looking for a decent movie, (if you are on Netflix it's one of the better ones I've found) this movie is a great thriller. Obviously a B movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. It kept my attention and had a believable ending. Overall I enjoyed watching it

We laughed allot about how extremly terrible this movie is, the director is a comedic genius! #The Room prequel?

I am an avid fan of the Death Note manga/anime series. This adaptation takes the series and COMPLETLY AND UTTERLY rips it apart into a storyline that barely resembles anything like the original. I couldn't make it past 20 minutes into this movie because of how cringy and disastrous Adam Wingard turned this storyline into. Not only are incredibly important details of the story completely thrown out, but entire plots and storylines are changed which made the original series so intelligent and intriguing. Adam Wingard should be put into the Death Note... death by boredom!!

Worst film of a good anime ever. The main cast has nothing to do with the persons in the anime. story just the worst parts.
