The last foe is a new "Death," created by man. To solve the Kira Case, L (Kenichi Matsuyama) leaves Los Angeles convincing Kira is in Japan. At the same time, his intuition tells him that he may never be able to return to Los Angeles again%u2026

Known as Kira, Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara), using the Death Note, attempts to become God of a criminal-free new world. By L's ultimate choice, the Kira Case closes, but, at the same time, L loses Watari (Shunji Fujimura) who was L's most trusted partner.

After Watari left, L takes on the task of solving the cases left in Watari's file. As all the cases are solved, a "gift" addressed to Watari arrives. The gift is a little boy. From the SD card the BOY (Narushi Fukuda) has in his possession, L learns that the child is the only survivor of the Thai village, which was exterminated. L also discovers that a huge conspiracy, utilizing a man made "Death," was on the move behind the Thai village tragedy.

Meanwhile, L has another visitor. The girl's name is Maki (Mayuko Fukuda), and she tells L that she has brought something her father, who died a horrible death, told her to deliver to Watari. As L realizes the item the girl brought is, indeed, the "Death" in question, pursuers are closing in. Protecting the two children, L physically makes moves to solve the horrendous case.

However, there were only 6 days left for him…

  Unlike the previous films, L is an original screenplay (a novel adaptation was released roughly one month before the film premiere), carving its own fictional niche while making a few welcome, and satisfying nods to Death Note mythology. L is still incredibly quirky and smart, but without the original manga story as backup, the film suffers.

  Pic is mostly set during the 23-day grace period before L's death, triggered when he signs his own name in a Death Note book. He takes on a case involving a deadly virus (half-flu, half-ebola) that's been developed by a group wanting to cut down the world population and establish a new global eco-system.

  Overall, the film when just watched by itself, could be considered a breath of air (hopefully not stale) for movie-goers out there. But when compared against the previous Death Note films and fictional world that created L, it's simply a passable film with decent (but not excellent) casting and a very questionable plot. L does manage to change the WorLd, albeit at a horrifically slow pace, but it's more of Maki and BOY's world that undergoes a noticeable change. Without the original dark and edgey feeling Death Note was known for, the film and L, never really does live up to expectations.
