9 | |

12 | ---- |
13 | !! This film provides examples of the following tropes: |
14 | * BlackAndGrayMorality: [[spoiler:It's a group of brutal career criminals versus a serial killer. Though at times it's difficult to tell who's the "gray" in the movie.]] |
15 | * CarFu: The man takes down [[spoiler:Flynn]] with the sheriff's car. |
16 | * CarcassSleepingBag: [[spoiler:The Driver hides himself in the very large and bulky Ethan after killing him so Ethan's cohorts would take him to their hideout.]] |
17 | * DeadStarWalking: [[spoiler: Lee Tergesen dies rather quickly.]] |
18 | * DecoyProtagonist: |
19 | ** The Driver is the BigBad and the thugs are the [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonists]] unlike what it seemed earlier. |
20 | ** Amber seemed to be set up as a decoy FinalGirl. |
21 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even knowing he was a bastard, Hoag cares deeply for his brother Ethan and his daughter Amber. |
22 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Played with as while he treated her like shit afterwards, Flynn was still shocked to see [[spoiler:Emma in the back of Driver's car, helping her out.]] |
23 | ** Flynn himself induces that reaction in other members of the group, who seem to only tolerate him because he's just that good at violence. [[spoiler: Indeed, he's the only one to actually give the Driver a decent fight before going down.]] |
24 | * EverybodyDiesEnding: Subverted. You would think this based on the title, but nope. |
25 | * EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler:Violent marauders versus a psychopathic serial killer.]] |
26 | * FinalGirl: Emma, who is also a Final Girl of [[Main/HeroOfAnotherStory another story.]] [[spoiler:She confronts the man at the end who killed her friends and kidnapped her, but she's ultimately set free at the end.]] |
27 | * {{Gorn}}: There is a ''lot'' of blood in the film, from cut throats to being fed into a woodchipper to multiple people shot in the head and the camera isn't afraid to linger on the after-effects. |
28 | * ImprovisedWeapon: A lot of the weapons Driver uses including a loose handcuff to stab through the chin and out the mouth, a clipboard...which [[MadeOfPlasticine somehow]] cuts through the victim's neck, a woodchipper and even a running engine to the face. |
29 | * MoeGreeneSpecial: A cop takes a fatal bullet to the eye. |
30 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Almost the whole idea of the film, a group of violent criminals forced to go against a violent psychopath. |
31 | * SickbedSlaying: [[spoiler:In the end, the Driver sneaks into Denny's hospital room and kills him.]] |
32 | * SlashedThroat: This is how [[spoiler:Betty kills herself]]. |
33 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Okay, so they're career criminals which obviously means they're less than nice at the best of times; it's pretty obvious, however, that Hoag and his team are disgusted by Flynn's murderous antics. |
34 | * TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer gives away the plot twist, and some of the deaths. |
35 | * YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:Flynn's death by shotgun blast to the face.]] |
