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 Tom Long Detroit News 10/20/2017

All anybody's expecting is rapid-fire absurdities and Three Stooges violence, which Killam serves up aplenty. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 04/05/2021
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 John Tones Espinof 07/23/2019
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 Read all reviews

Lowley T @RT58342271 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 @RT59184767 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 @RT24440473 02/04/2024 Absolutely amazing movie to watch with friends. See more Eugen S @RT92462336 07/29/2023 grotesque, sometimes funny but very second-rate in script and direction. very poor acting performance by almost everyone involved. See more Read all reviews
