What the critics say average 4.1 from 4 outlets
- 6.5 The Hollywood ReporterJustin Lowe
Rather than relying on amplifying typical genre conventions, Wingard methodically lays the foundation to set up this particular Death Note adaptation for a potential sequel, but the outcome is more deliberate than inspired.
