The biggest shortcoming is that the villain is too short and weak. Nothing like the big bad guy. And like a nervous little bastard, not calm, talking impatiently with people, no deterrent, giving people the feeling of jumping up and down, running around, not like a rich and profiteer at all. The original film had a dialogue between the villain and the detective. Not speculative, the villain slips away through the darkness of the tunnel car; it's a very subtle place. It's more dramatic, and it can also reflect the villain's cautiousness and elusiveness. It also shows that it is not easy to kill him.
The beautiful female character in the original film is quite unforgettable, dressed luxuriously and has a delicate demeanor. The woman in this remake can only be said to be average, without the feeling of a concubine.
Of course, the film also has a good point, that is, the soundtrack. The rhythm is no longer the thrilling and humorous feel of the original film. But always tragic. In addition, with the help of computer special effects, the magnificent shots of the train crossing the mountains are also unmatched by the old movies.
