10A gang of violent marauders has just botched their latest job when they happen upon a traveling couple and decide to coax them to part with their valuables through torture. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for them, the male of the couple is a serial killer.]]

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.]]
