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

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

It's little more than a diverting sketch, but its characters justify its ninety minutes, and Killam's unremitting enthusiasm is occasionally contagious.

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

Reel Film Reviews
Rating: 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!)

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Too smart for the 'wacky comedy' box and too outrageously playful to sit alongside standard action fare, Killing Gunther is nevertheless destined to find an audience who will watch it again and again.

Product Description:
An assassin (Taran Killam) assembles a team of killers to take out Gunther, the greatest hitman of all time (Arnold Schwarzenegger). But no matter how many bullets they fire or bombs they throw, Gunther refuses to be terminated. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE alum Killam wrote and directed this action comedy. Bobby Moynihan, Hannah Simone, Cobie Smulders, and Allison Tolman co-star.
