If you want a death note film, seriously, this is going to be terrible, do yourself a favour and watch the existing films. They are by no means perfect adaptions, but they do the series justice at the very least, in particular the guy who portrayed L played the character excellently.
I actually saw those, but only because there was that one move "L - Change the world" that was a Death Note spinoff. I read that in order to understand it you'd have to watch the previous adaptations, since it takes place after those.
Aside from that, I rarely ever pick up live action adaptions of anything unless I hear it's pretty good. Obviously I'm not expecting it to be a 100% adaptation, since that's impossible to do. But I hate when a film has almost nothing to do with the source material, but just vaguely resembles the original plot and uses the same character names.
Yes, Dragonball, I'm looking at you. It was basically a kung-fu movie that they thought "man, this seems pretty crappy. How can we make this sell better? Oh, I know! Get a popular title for it!"
So they got the license to make it. They change up the storyline they previously created to fit the context more and slap on character names. There you go, DB movie!
That might as well be what happened.
