Before wielding the power to punish criminals globally, the legendary detective known only as "L" faces a contained, intensely personal crisis 23 days before his fateful confrontation with Kira. This prequel-adjacent thriller eschews the grand scale of the original *Death Note* for a claustrophobic, character-focused investigation surrounding the hijacking of a ferry and a hostage situation fueled by a twisted sense of justice. Stripped of Watari's support and operating in a gray moral landscape, L grapples not only with solving the crime but with a burgeoning identity crisis – a fleeting glimpse into the anxieties and vulnerabilities beneath his iconic, aloof persona. The film offers a somber, contemplative exploration of the burden of responsibility and the erosion of certainty, highlighting the fragility of even the most brilliant minds when confronting absolute power and the limits of their own logic.
