Forget what you know about the Japanese thriller manga series, once you do that this movie gets a lot better. Now turn the gore and profanity up a few notches and remember this was made for American audiences and at times plot points are spelled out for you. The theme of rules and in/justice feature throughout. It does irk me that this is not as clever a game of wits between L and Light as the original material. Visually it's good and the soundtrack is probably the best part of the movie. Recommended for fans of Twilight.
