I gotta confess - I liked Crying Freeman much more back in the 90s. A couple of days ago I tried to watch again but failed (I used the forward function a lot of time) - the action looks dated and totally unbelievable, and reminded me of Star Wars. No matter how many guys (Stormtroopers) and how close standing: they manage somehow to miss the target. I bet even untrained people (not to mentioned tough pro killers) would not fail that much. So what's left: some good ideas, some stylish scenes, but that's not enough to call Crying Freeman a classic or have to watch.
