One of my all time favorites.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A gang of ruthless highway killers kidnap a wealthy couple traveling cross country only to shockingly discover that things are not what they seem. No One Lives is your typical killer, psychopath, revenge tale of a movie that doesn't really offer anything new to the table. Luke Evans was alright i guess? But there were for sure way better charismatic actors to play such a role rather than Evans as for the rest of the cast? Pretty bad i'd say since none of them had any actual real personality or even were at least a bit menacing to begin with in a forgettable flick. (4/10)

A nice "Leave your brain at the door" psychological action thriller. However, if you think too much about it, you'll see the many flaws.This is a story we've seen before, a man loses his girl to a gang of criminal thugs and takes it upon himself to wreak vengeance on the gang, in the most graphically violent way possible. In view of this, the film is still fresh, this due to the twist in the story... and it's a good one, though I had figured it out by the second scene.Ryuhei Kitamura does an excellent job of creating tension and suspense at the right times as well as keeping the story tight and moving at a rapid pace.All the actors give good performances, especially Luke Evans as The Driver, Adelaide Clemens as Emma Ward, and Lee Tergeson gives his usual "Bad Boy" as Hoag.It's also nice to NOT see a wrestler anywhere in sight saying WWE had a hand in production.Unfortunately, not to give spoilers I cannot say much more, though I would recommend this to all revenge lovers, out there, to watch at least once... ... but don't think too much about it - just enjoy.

If you are looking for a perfectly bad (in all the right mind screwy ways) slasher film, this is it. Luke Evans is so freakin crazy awesome in this movie. He is a psycho that makes no apologies for it. Almost terminator like killing but very creative and oh yeah they went there kind of killing. This movie was non stop action, blood, guts and dark humor all the way from beginning to end. For some reason you just adore Luke Evan's brand of crazy, almost cheering for him by the end. Is it because he's gorgeous, yes, but it's just so well played. You don't want it to end. But....everyone is dead so it had to end.....almost everyone.

At an early stage in this film it's clear that we're intentionally wrong-footed in how we're supposed to perceive the wealthy couple. They're portrayed as being an average wealthy couple and are the ones who we presume are the victims of a brutal kidnapping by a bunch of highway killers. It's an interesting turn of events when we learn that the highway killers have picked on the wrong couple and it turns out that they are violent psychopathic killers themselves. This, in effect, means that the supposed kidnappers end up being victims to their own crime and this role-reversal does make it quite interesting in the early stages...The film generally maintains this theme for most of its running time; the isolated environment and Luke Evans chilling portrayal does give the film a sense of claustrophobia and also means that the film has many tense and suspenseful sequences. Once Evans is let loose it does become a hard film to take your eyes off and it often leaves the viewer wondering what he will do next. On the downside I did feel that the filmmakers blood-lust got in the way far too often and there were far too many bloody and gory scenes - Evans character was chilling and cold enough in himself and I just felt that all the gore and blood took the focus away from Evans superb performance and cheapened the film somewhat.As I've mentioned Evans is very good here easily bringing the necessary menace and evil to befit his character. Sadly his co-stars let him down badly as they generally fall into the usual stock horror clichés - nearly all of them overact and bicker and at times it got very annoying.It seemed that the writers had run out of ideas by the final third of the film and things start to become rather generic; the original kidnappers are being picked off one by one, but all these scenes are trotted out in a predictable fashion leading to a fairly safe and predictable conclusion.It's a passable film if you keep your expectations low and yes it does have some tension and suspense, but I just didn't feel that it delivered on these things consistently enough and as a result the film was only compelling in parts rather than as a whole.
