Killing Gunther

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/20/2017
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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

Schwarzenegger's presence should have given for an infinitely more solid parody. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers 02/08/2019
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!) Go to Full Review

Lowley T Sep 27 The doughy, white anchor from "Weekend Update" fails miserably at terminating the Terminator. This is one of the best Schwarzenegger films since he played that killer android sent from the future to eliminate humanity's only chance at survival. Sorry...the character's name is escaping me. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Steven t @SST609 07/02/2024 A little amusing film but not a belly laugh a min. Personally I am not into the fake documentary style of film,that's better suited for tv. See more Xóchitl G 02/25/2024 Worst movie ever. And I really love action movies. It's a waste of time, I want my time back!! See more Riley R 02/04/2024 Absolutely amazing movie to watch with friends. See more Craig M 10/29/2023 First of all, if you watch, hang on for the last moment of the post-credit hilarity. Second, despite its low budget and uneven production, I enjoyed it. HOWEVER, read the reviews and understand that this is high camp, which, understandably, is not for everyone. See more Read all reviews
