Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, Patrick has a scar across his lower face given to him by the Big Bad of Darkness, Take My Hand and has grown a beard to cover it up. In the movie, he has no such scar and is clean-shaven, preserving Casey Affleck's boyish good lucks.

Adaptation Distillation: Affleck does a very good job of condensing and streamlining a very complex novel. Since the movie was adapted as a stand-alone, all Continuity Nods to the earlier books in the series were cut, such as Patrick frequently thinking about his confrontation with Gerry Glynn and the death of Phil from Darkness, Take My Hand or Doyle threatening to open up an investigation into Patrick and Angie's murder of Marion Socia in A Drink Before The War.

Abusive Parents: It quickly becomes obvious that Helene is a horribly neglectful mother. It's why Lionel helped Broussard take her in the first place.
