Death Note (2015)

The film explores the complex ethical dilemmas of vigilantism and the corrupting nature of absolute power, presenting a nuanced critique of ideological extremes rather than endorsing a specific political viewpoint.

The movie features a significant race-swap for a major character, L, who is portrayed by a Black actor, diverging from the original Japanese source material. While the protagonist Light and other characters were cast as white, the prominent casting of L contributes to the film's diversity. The narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on strong DEI themes.
