Movie Review - No One Lives

No One Lives

(2012)

W.W.E. Studios / Pathe : Pathe / Anchor Bay Entertainment / 20th Century Fox

7.5 / 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.
