Everyone died too easily


For an evil vs. evil film, I wish they would've have the group of bad guys more "professional", better at defending themselves, so we don't know who's going to win/lose.

Instead, it was more of the "guess who's going to die next", which has been done quite a few times before.

I don't know about more professional, but less stupid would have been nice.

Actually to be honest, they didn't die easily enough. Every single character that the Luke Evans character attempted to kill survived only to be killed again later. I liked the movie but by the end I knew the chick in the shower was going to still be alive, then the dude hit by the car.

Agreed, they felt more like dumb teenagers than a gang

I don't think that would work.

No One Lives is a twisted take on the trope of a hero rescuing a dame in distress from the baddies, which we see in action films almost all the time. Except in this case, our hero is a murderous sociopath, the dame is his own kidnapping victim, and the baddies are just a bunch of low-life thieves. This film is riddled with irony and black comedy.

Nice description. Well done.

Good theory.

Riddled with Black Comedy is a bit of a stretch.

It attempted Black Comedy but most of it came off as cliche.

Lots of cliches through out, but the movie still manages to be entertaining thanks to decent production values and acting.

Ive seen worse stories, Ive also seen smarter kills, and dumber victims.

The most annoying part is It did seem the movie wanted to let our Psycho killer off easy, so they had the bad "baddie" be the one putting his gang members out of misery, either by the ludicrous and annoying, oops I couldnt see her in the road to the, oops, I have an itchy trigger, those kills were all to easy.

when he shows up at the hospital to fulfill the movie title, I just dont see how their wouldnt have been a cop guarding him, but its just a movie, and one I gave 5 stars too.
