Adaptation Deviation: In the movie, Joe claims he participated in the war. In The Given Day (which takes place in 1919), Joe is 12 years old.

Adapted Out: Danny Coughlin, Joe's older brother and the hero of the novel The Given Day, was Demoted to Extra in the novel to begin with. He doesn't appear in the film at all, he is only mentioned. Affleck regular Titus Welliver was cast as Tim Hickey, Albert White's rival at whose behest Joe robs White's card game, but he didn't make the final cut.

Black-and-Gray Morality: Joe has chosen the life of a gangster, but uses his illegal business' money to improve the life of the Cuban community in Tampa, and helps the Figgis family after Loretta's mishap. Meanwhile, Albert White and Maso Pescatore are ruthless and racist crime bosses. And then there's The Klan... What's more, Joe refuses to be involved in drug trafficking, knowing full well what it did to people like Loretta.
