A tale of bumbling assassins that isn't as Arnold-centric as we were lead to believe. The legendary action star is left to steal the show during the final act. Still, the other people onscreen are just funny enough to carry the materialA tale of bumbling assassins that isn't as Arnold-centric as we were lead to believe. The legendary action star is left to steal the show during the final act. Still, the other people onscreen are just funny enough to carry the material forward until his arrival. Shot in the mockumentary style, "Killing Gunther" tries to have a little something more going for it than just the laughs and action parody sequences. The movie explores the reason as to why these people would want to kill the world's best hitman in the first place. Something that isn't as satisfying as it could be due to the fact that it all hangs on the main character's desire to get revenge, and he's easily the least likable person onscreen.

The jokes are of a pretty simplistic nature. There are some throw-up gags and constant buffoonery at the hands on these surprisingly inept professional killers. It's pretty silly stuff, but it works. You can see it's not exactly the most sophisticated or expensively made movie out there, but it's executed just well enough to still a good time. Especially when Arnie finally appears onscreen. Be sure to sit through the credits to hear one of the funniest country-parody songs ever, curtesy of the Terminator himself.
