Self Reliance (2023)
Nice low budget movie
It's a cool movie if you don't have anything else to watch. I liked it. It's sort of funny, and it makes you a bit anxious. The game could've been a bit more challenging though.
(***MINOR SPOILER***)
The movie could have been more of a thriller if the game was challenging and Tommy's life was constantly in danger. If paying a homeless guy to be with you all the time saves you from being killed, I don't see the thrill of it.
I read a comment saying it's not as funny, and I have to agree. You'll see people acting goofy every now and then and a bit of humor in some scenes, but just as it could be more thrilling, it could also be more comedic.
Death Note (2017)
Death Note fans need to remember the live action wasn't made for them.
This is coming from a person that doesn't frequent on anime but happens to watch a few and Death Note is one of them.
I've seen the anime and I loved it. This live action is not as bad as the 1 star reviews you see. The movie is far off from the anime but that's perfectly normal when an anime is made into a live action movie. Most of the characters are nothing like the characters from the anime which is a little disappointing, but like I said, the movie isn't made specifically for the people who saw the anime. (Credit to L as he got anime's L mannerism down to the T)
People watching the live action will like it. I've seen comments that say it's fact paced and I agree, but besides that it's a really good movie.
