Rating: Not Rated
Movie Release Date: February 9, 2008 (Japan)
DVD Release Date: August 18, 2009
Plot 411: L must stop a biomedical plot to destroy mankind.
Review: This is my favorite movie of the three Death Note flicks. It is less about the death notebook and more about the character named L (Kenichi Matsuyama). This movie is a 23-day excerpt of his life in which he is called upon to save the world from a lethal virus. An environmental group has developed a virus that will wipe out populations. Their motive? Humans are overpopulating the world and a balance is needed within nature. This movie is great because it elaborates on an interesting character by giving us a closer look at who he is. We watch as he relates to others in a more intimate way, thus proving he is changing and growing as a person. L becomes especially close to two children - Maki (Mayuko Fukuda) and Boy/Near (Narushi Fukuda). They are both intelligent and alone, something to which L can relate.

Watch It: If you were really drawn to L in the other movies.
Skip It: If you've never seen the first two Death Notes. I feel like it's essential that you watch the first two before this one as you'll get a more complete picture of who L is by being able to contrast the two. Also, this movie includes spoilers of the other two.
