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!)

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.

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

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.
