The CinePearl Take

Death Note is a 2006 Japanese film that blends detective and drama — expect clues, suspects and a steady march to the truth and grounded performances and personal stakes. Shūsuke Kaneko directs and the script comes from Tsugumi Ohba. With 13 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 2006, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 126 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
