The Deathnote films are definately worth checking out.
Apparently its based on a Manga book and the storyline in the films were specifically done as a two parter, they flow into each other very smoothly. The acting is very good and the cgi (needed to portray the Death Gods) is solid.
The (very) basic idea is the main man, Light, has a book called the Deathnote, which when he writes the name of a person in it, that person will die. Time and type of death can be specified but if not, their heart will just stop. The Deathnote belongs to a death god called Ryuuk who accompanies Light and 'enforces' the power of the Deathnote(this isnt exactly correct but cant be arsed going into detail!).
The target audience seemed, to me at least, to be towards teenagers but dont let that put you off. The second film, The Last Name, is better than the first but both are worth a watch.
