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.

Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Schwarzenegger has a great time hamming it up, and we have almost as much fun watching him have fun. Rated: 3/4 Oct 21, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 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. Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News All anybody's expecting is rapid-fire absurdities and Three Stooges violence, which Killam serves up aplenty. Rated: B- Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 1/5 Apr 5, 2021 Full Review John Tones Espinof Schwarzenegger's presence should have given for an infinitely more solid parody. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers 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!)

Steven t 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Xóchitl G Worst movie ever. And I really love action movies. It's a waste of time, I want my time back!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Riley R Absolutely amazing movie to watch with friends. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Stuart H We couldn't make it past the 45 minute mark, which was a battle in itself. The plot is horribly thin with very obvious way markers. Maybe I just don't understand the Mockumentary genre. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Craig M 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Eugen S grotesque, sometimes funny but very second-rate in script and direction. very poor acting performance by almost everyone involved. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
