I knew absolutely nothing about it but from researching this I found out it's a live action remake of an anime cartoon. I guess because I detest anime I knew nothing of this.
The story revolves around a young man who finds a book entitled "The Death Note" and the demon who goes along with it. Ryuk, the demon tell him that any persons name written in the book will die.
The young man decides to get rid of all the criminals including the one who killed his mother. Soon people all over the world with criminal ties start to die in various gruesome ways.
Soon a detective who only goes by the name of "L" is on the case. The teen meets a young girl that also has the same intentions as he does and they begin a world-wide spree of killing that soon escalates out of control.
It's not too bad for a modern movie, but since I don't follow anime at all I was somewhat lost by the characters and some of their motivations. I guess I'm just too damn old for this.
However, the demon Ryuk is an interesting creation.
