Similarly, Lakeith Stanfield’s antics as L are so over-the-top that they border on parody. While Nat Wolff is only 22, he seems much older than the teenager he portrays on screen and his goofy facial expressions undercut Light’s dramatic moments. Unfortunately, both of the leading actors are the biggest weakness in this film. For most of the movie, L hides both from his target. With the Death Note, Light can kill anyone as long as he knows their face and their name. The movie is an extremely condensed version of the battle of wills between the keeper of the Death Note, Light Turner, and L, a police detective determined to unmask Light as the serial killer known as Kira. At Comic-Con, Wingard expressed his hope and belief that his movie would buck the trend of low-quality American anime remakes.
Director Adam Wingard (Blair Witch, You're Next) took the helm of the American adaptation, which is coming to Netflix next month. Death Note is one of the most popular manga series in the world, and it has already been adapted as an anime series and as a live-action movie in Japan. The movie premieres on Netflix on August 25. Netflix held an advance screening of Death Note at San Diego Comic-Con 2017.
