Partial Review:
Based on a hugely popular Japanese manga (and soon anime), Death Note offers a premise that will likely appeal to disaffected adolescents everywhere. Death Note supposes that human lives are snuffed by "Shinigami", roving ghouls who write human being's names down in a notebook called -- not surprisingly -- a Death Note. Bored Shinigami Ryuk (a CG creation voiced by Shido Nakamura) leaves his Death Note in a vacant lot because he's curious about the effect a Death Note will have on the human world. Luckily -- or perhaps not -- it's picked up by Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara of Battle Royale), a disenchanted law student who, upon learning just what the Death Note does, decides that the supernatural notebook is his key to bringing real justice to the world. Operating from the anonymity of his bedroom, Light begins a mass-murder crusade that stuns the world, and is eventually given the name "Kira" by his adoring and/or frightened public.
