Now, I am not familiar with the Anime that this 1995 movie is based upon, so how true the contents of this live action movie is to the source material, I have no idea.
I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 1995 movie "Crying Freeman" for what must be the third time now since 1995. And each time the movie is every bit as entertaining and enjoyable as the previous time. So writers Christophe Gans and Thierry Cazals definitely managed to put together something wholesome here.
The character gallery in "Crying Freeman" is pretty good, as it is rather detailed and director Christophe Gans does let the audience get to know the major characters in the movie rather well. And having a great cast ensemble to bring the characters to life on the screen most certainly also played a big part.
It is no secret that this movie is carried rather well by Mark Dacascos (playing Yo Hinomura, aka the Freeman), and it is also the main reason for why I return to watch it every now and again. But aside from Mark Dacascos, the movie also have some nice performances by the rest of the cast ensemble.
Visually then "Crying Freeman" is rather good. Lots of nice cinematography throughout the course of the movie, and there is always something to take it for a first time when you sit down to watch the movie.
There is a good amount of action, gunfights and martial arts in "Crying Freeman", complimenting the detailed storyline rather nicely. And the action in the movie is nicely choreographed and equally so brought to life on the screen.
If you haven't already seen "Crying Freeman", then I can warmly recommend you do so, should you ever find yourself with the opportunity to do so.
My rating of "Crying Freeman" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
