One of the most compelling elements of Netflix’s Death Note movie is the shinigami (death god), Ryuk.

Trying to adapt a 2400-page manga into a 101-minute movie is what used to be called a mug’s game – a task so remarkably daunting/stupid that it wasn’t even worth considering.
Adam Wingard’s Death Note is a bit better than that, but not much.
Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows Light Turner (Nat Wolff) a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
Netflix has released a clip featuring the first meeting of Light and prodigy detective L (Lakeith Stanfield).
Death Premieres on Netflix – and in select theaters in Los Angels and New York – on August 25th.
