I have to say I was really looking forward to seeing this flick. I really enjoyed the original Manga animated versions, even though I am not a real anime fan. I was hoping the big screen effort would pay off and that we may have a new classic in the genre. I saw the movie on video as soon as it was released, and even though I thoroughly enjoyed, something was missing. I still can't quite put my finger on it. Don't misunderstand me, it is beautifully filmed, there is great dialogue and it has super action sequences...but I still felt that something wasn't quite hitting the mark for me. That was my personal opinion.
Do watch it for yourself though. I have to state that the acting was very above average for a film like Crying Freeman and I think, that in the right hands, Mark Dacascus could be a real star in the making.
