Robert Gunther Bendik is renowned as the world's greatest hitman. A group of self-obsessed assassins team up to take Gunther out, determined to claim the title for themselves.

Critics Consensus

Despite a game cast led by an enjoyably over the top Arnold Schwarzenegger, Killing Gunther feels like a sketch overstretched to feature length.

3/4

Schwarzenegger has a great time hamming it up, and we have almost as much fun watching him have fun.

More than anything, Killing Gunther demonstrates that Christopher Guest has a lot to atone for with his pioneering of the mockumentary, which has become the lazy, go-to style for low-budget comedies.

B-

All anybody's expecting is rapid-fire absurdities and Three Stooges violence, which Killam serves up aplenty.

1/5

It's almost impressive how a movie that's supposed to be a comedy, one directed, written, and acted by comedic performers, fails to generate a single moment of humor.

Schwarzenegger's presence should have given for an infinitely more solid parody. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

A cautionary tale about the modern assumption one can achieve fame through a single act rather than putting the work in, the amiable if messy Killing Gunther is saved by Schwarzenegger's exuberant portrayal of the World's Top Assassin (yes, another one!)

Killing Gunther is a bit too twisty, and hinches on pop-culture call backs once too many times, but I still enjoyed it just enough, as weird as it is.

Did not like it at all

Boring, un-funny, and an overall mess. "Killing Gunther" proves to be drag with bad writing and acting all around.

Good concept, just not funny at all.

Hagrid S

With this line-up, this mockumentary should have been a lot funnier. But for some reason it just doesn't hit.
