The young artist Yo is kidnapped and “reprogrammed in “The Liberator – a sophisticated elite killer with unlimited, almost fantastic capabilities, capable of eliminating even the leaders of the Japanese yakuza, the main opponents of his overlords, the Sons of the Dragon.
Beauty Emu is an accidental witness to one of the murders committed by Yo. The tradition of “killer liberators” requires that it perish at his hand. Instead, they fall in love with each other and begin an odyssey of passion and violence.

Artist Emu OÂ’Hara (Julie Kondra) calmly painted in nature, when suddenly the silence of an autumn day was broken by pistol shots, and in front of her eyes a handsome young man (Mark Dacascos) killed two Japanese in cold blood. Witnesses are not left alive, you say, but the killer behaved very strangely. Not only did the killer save Emu’s life, he also gave her his name Yo. Following this, it turned out that among the dead was the son of the influential boss Yakuza (in Japan they are called Oyabuns) Shimozaki, and Yo belongs to the ancient Chinese order “Sons of the Dragon and is her punitive sword, better known as Freeman (translated from English as “free person”). Now Emu is in danger: both the Shimozaki people and the “Sons of the Dragon, who ordered Yo to kill her, want to find her. However, he again does not kill Emu, and she does not extradite him to the police. And then a serious intrigue spins …
Rarely are there such attractive films as this one. Before us seems to be an ordinary action movie from the 90s, which were then stamped in batches and distributed in our country by video. However, among such militants came across very interesting patterns, and the “Crying Killer is just one of them. The film was shot according to the very famous Japanese comics of the same name, and this is precisely how it compares favorably with American films of this kind. There are no guys and girls in tight-fitting suits, no one here acquires various superpowers and does not pretend to be various animals for intimidation. On the contrary, the fact that this film was shot on comics can only be found in the credits. And it pleases, because the film is very decent, even despite a very confusing and not very original plot. The main advantage of this picture is a really cool production. Here the international film crew did their best. The magnificent work of the operator fascinates from the very first shots and forces you to keep your eyes on the screens until the very end, great music, great action scenes and, of course, the actors’ game. In my opinion, this is the best role of Mark Dacascos. His Yo is very lively, laconic and romantic. True, during the course of the film it was a little incomprehensible who he was by nationality, Japanese or Chinese (I immediately recall the phrase from the unforgettable “You canÂ’t change the meeting place – “ItÂ’s like a framer, but no, not a framer), but this we will leave it on the conscience of the scriptwriters. Julie Kondra also left a very good impression (by the way, she is the wife of Mark Dacascos). I would also like to mention one of the traditional main villains of modern world cinema, Cheki Kario, who appeared in the role of a corrupt police officer Nito, the beautiful actress Ray Dawn Chong (remember the friend of Schwarzenegger from Commando?), The Japanese actor Masaya Kato, a cool actor who played an unkillable gangster Ryuji, and alas, the late Mako, who brilliantly embodied the image of Shimozaki.
I think this film will appeal to fans of action films as well as lovers of good movies, as well as girls. Still, it is not in vain that he is considered one of the most beautiful militants of the 90s, and I completely agree with this opinion. This is one of my favorite films since childhood …
And the last one. I recommend watching “The Crying Killer in the old author’s translation from video tapes, since the option for television, to put it mildly, is not very good. For example, if you translate the phrase “give me your hand as “get out, you would put a fat deuce at school
