Car Bomb: How the villains intend to kill Darby—but get her boyfriend instead. Also how they try to kill her and Gray in the film. Luckily, when Gray tries to start the car, Darby recognizes the sound of the faltering engine from the first incident and is able to stop him.

Adaptation Dye-Job/Dye or Die: Averted. Darby wears wigs in the movie, whereas in the book, she repeatedly cuts and colors her hair to disguise her appearance.

Amoral Attorney: Par for the course in a John Grisham story. An evil law firm not unlike one in another Grisham work factors in as minions to the Big Bad.
