So the camera moves one place to another in a quick succession unlike other versions. And many events, especially film scenes were accelerated. The Immigrant joke was trimmed off, since today's US is not in favour of such comedies in films. Otherwise, as a neutral, this is not a bad remake. That's the negative, as the film Jamie Foxx in the lead. Unlike the same characters from other versions, I don't know how they turned Monaghan's role so powerful.
