Infuriatingly bad watch, probably won’t watch again, and can’t recommend.

It’s like someone wanted “Barry” and “The Office” to be the same thing, but they couldn’t get a name big enough except for Arnold Schwarzenegger who looks awesome in this, so why wouldn’t he take the pay check.

And I like almost everyone in this movie, Arnold included, they’re really funny people, and I bet this movie was a blast to make. However, this movie is a fine example of what NOT to do for found footage, and why making a “fake-umentary” is so hard to do correctly.

Unfortunately, these comedy actors are mostly sketch artists (SNL) or they work parts on sitcoms, Hannah Simone was the “best friend” on “New Girl”, but other than Taran Killam (arguably), they haven’t carried a show before, and I don’t think they realized that making a movie isn’t the same as making episodes.

I would love to see all these people back together in a good movie, but the writing in this movie is heavily dependent on weak characters with soft motivations, and a lot, A LOT, of attention seeking humor (basically the movie demands you watch it, “Look at me dad! Dad! YOU’RE NOT LOOKING!”), or situational humor, which takes a LOT of work to either set up or explain.

I was really looking forward to this one, which might be why I’m being so critical, because it is a GREAT premise, but they didn’t take writing the script seriously because it’s a comedy so they loss some of the “oomph” and draw it should have had. And there are few physics breaking things that I wouldn’t have cared about so much, but the rest of the movie was grating at me that it didn’t care, so I shouldn’t care.

I’m not mad in the end, I’m just disappointed.

That’s a damn fine poster you’ve got there, _Killing Gunther_. Unfortunately, it’s also indicative of _Killing Gunther’s_ biggest problem: Leading the promotional material with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I know, from a marketing standpoint, it makes a hundred and five percent sense, totally get it. But purely in terms of the experience you go through from watching a movie, I feel absolutely certain that _Killing Gunther_ would have been exponentially better if Arnie’s involvement was kept secret. It seems very much as if the movie was built that way, and then the direction was changed some time after post-production.

In the end, _Killing Gunther_ is an okay movie, but it might have been **great** if the Gunther character was a genuine reveal in the film, instead of the “Fuckin’ finally” moment we ended up with.

_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Funny in places
SPOILER: Firstly if you are a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger then be warned that as others have said, although the film suggests that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a star in it, there is a suggestion of his presence throughout but in reality he is on screen only for the last 20mins or so.

The film tells the story of a odd collection of hit men (and hit women) who get together to kill Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger), another hit man.

A documentary crew follow the odd squad as they try and kill Gunther. However he is always one step ahead of them, kills them one by one but they never get to see him.

It is laugh out loud funny in places. Other jokes miss the spot. The ending is very clever. Arnold Schwarzenegger looks odd in it. I think they were trying to make him look younger.

It is also nice to see Hannah Simone playing something other than a model. Her over protective but supportive father is one of the funniest themes in the film.

The whole documentary crew footage being the film struggles in places. Especially in the big shoot out in Gunther’s house where for various reasons you are supposedly left with no cameramen but footage is still filmed.

Overall though it is an amusing film but could have been done better.

A Dumb Movie Slightly Redeemed By Arnold; 4/10 Stars
I love assassin movies. The best thing I can say about this movie is I did watch the whole thing without shutting it off.

95% of the movie follows a documentary crew who is hired to follow a team of assassins. They are trying to kill the worlds greatest hit-man, a guy named Gunther (Played by Arnold.) One or two of the assassins are amusing but most of the jokes fall flat and the movies ends up being pretty tedious as a result. I honestly wanted to like it but the writing is pretty bad, the action is laughable (but not in a good way) and what could be an interesting premise is wasted.

The best part of the movie is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is the only actor in the movie that feels like a real actor, which is crazy because he’s know more for his action abilities than his acting abilities. Sadly, Arnie is only in about 5% of the movie and the rest of the time viewers are stuck with a mediocre cast. At the very least I give Arnold credit for making the most of his role. (Although I bet he only was on set for a week.) Even though this is a comedy movie and not a true story I was disappointed by the lack of internal consistency. Basically Gunther (Arnie’s character)is capable of performing assassinations that defy all logic and explanation. I would have rather him been a very good assassin who is human, rather than a super-powered baddie who can apparently bend the laws of time and space.

I acknowledge that there was a decent idea here. Unfortunately it didn’t work out and I’m surprised Arnold agreed to appear in this movie. I’m guessing most of the budget was spent on his salary, otherwise his presence makes no sense to me.

Sadly, I cannot recommend this movie, unless you are a huge Schwarzenegger fan and you love the idea of an assassin comedy (and you smoke enough pot that you are able to suspend disbelief in the face of the ridiculous and are able to laugh at jokes that aren’t really funny.) Sober viewers should probably skip this one.
