Line 31:
* [[Bulletproof Vest]]: {{spoiler|Doug takes an entire magazine from Fergie at near-point blank range and lives}}. Whether this is played straight or exaggerated is up to the viewer.
** Watch closely, a few of the bullets miss.
* [[Career Resurrection]]: The widely lauded movie is credited with completely restoring Affleck's credibility as an actor, as well as showing his good promise as a director. It also proved that ''[[Gone Baby Gone]]'' wasn't a fluke.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Claire at one point tells Doug how her brother died on a sunny day; she's later able to use this phrase as a code to warn him to stay away from her apartment when the FBI sets a trap for him there.
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Subverted; though Agent Frawley at times comes off this way nothing he does violates the law or standard police protocol. He's simply ruthlessly efficient and willing to do whatever's allowed to do his job.
