Set ten years after the events of previous films Death Note and Death Note 2: The Last Name. In 2016, society is afflicted with cyber-terrorism. The Death Note is a supernatural notebook that grants its user the power to kill simply by writing a person's name on its pages. Six different Death Notes fall to the human world, the maximum number of notes that can exist at once. In the midst of this, two new individuals inherit the DNA of Light Yagami and L and must play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse once again. (Madman Entertainment)

The action is great, the actors aren't bad, in some ways it's similar to the previous installments, in some ways it's completely different, but ultimately it's once again insanely overdone. If it hadn't ended after everything that happened, the rating would be higher. It's definitely not a bad film, it's well made, it has its pluses and minuses (for example, the casting of Fujii Mina and her character altogether was completely worthless), but when all’s said and done it's a slightly above average film that definitely has something to offer.

I can't help but think that the Death Note film series has become like a stirred porridge, where the creators don't know when to end it. It's not that it's unpleasant to watch at all; on the contrary, it's quite enjoyable, but I don't think the story still has much to say and continues to evoke the same level of tension. True, but that transition from manga to live-action adaptation has never really been successful.
