I think the main thing missing from the remake...
was that it lacked a bit of emotion in places.
Like when Ed dies, I really wansn't that bothered by it as he wasn't made out to be a very likeable character. I thought his best friend might have had a bit more of an emotional response to having to kill his friend.
Also the club scene definately lacked the Romance/erotic side that the original had (something I beleive Cloin Farrell himself refered to).
If it had a bit more emotion to it, it would be really great!
I don't hate the remake, I just thought they could have done a bit more with the characters. Colin Farrells charm was a bit wasted I thought.
