Willem Dafoe brings his Green Goblin voice to Ryuk, one of many strange choices the adaptation makes. Light and Mia work together under the pseudonym of Kira to eliminate criminals and terrorists the world over, and their murderous creation is both revered and reviled. His characters are underachievers until they get their hands on the Note, and then they’re eager to become gods.

It’s a little rushed - this is a movie that could use another 30 minutes to hash out its ideas - but it’s entertaining nonetheless. Viewers can make up their own minds on what a “proper” Death Note adaptation would look like, but Wingard’s vision is a solid one. Netflix’s Death Note changes a lot of its source material, which brought on charges of eliminating Japanese characters and settings, and a broader critique of Wingard’s take on the characters. But Mia and Ryuk soon prove to be quite demanding. He also uses it to impress bored cheerleader Mia (Margaret Qualley), who becomes his girlfriend. By killing criminals he gets to have quality time with his detective father (Shea Whigham). There are a few more rules, but neither they nor Ryuk’s menacing scowl and laugh stop Light from entering name after name. The concept is that the death god Ryuk (Willem Dafoe) convinces a teenager named Light (Nat Wolff) to use a Death Note, a notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written in it, provided that the writer has seen the person’s face. A little like Final Destination and its many sequels, Death Note has an open-ended approach to murder where the only limit is your imagination.
