As in the original Death Note manga/anime, L quickly figures out that the mysterious "killer" who is punishing all of the world's criminals in inexplicable fashion is Light. However, he lacks proof and the very nature of the Death Note means he's unlikely to uncover any.
The clip also reveals how LaKeith Stanfield (Atlanta) will portary L and transfer his creepy, quirky Japanese mannerisms into an American version of the character. It's certainly effective and should satisfy fans of the character but stay tuned to Anime Mojo as we await the first reviews ahead of the film's August 25 premiere.
One wrong move and the game is over. See Light and L face off on Death Note, streaming on Netflix August 25th.
