“Killing Gunther” is easily one of the worst films I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s an action/comedy with a real emphasis on the comedic side. Unfortunately, it isn’t even remotely amusing. In fact, I’m pretty sure people have had heart attacks that are funnier than this.

A group of moronic hitmen decide that the only way to establish themselves as the best in the world is to go out and kill the elusive Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger “True Lies”, “Predator”). They hire a cameraman to document their hunt for the world’s greatest hitman. Of course, nothing goes to plan as Gunther is always one step ahead of them.

Taran Killam (“12 Years A Slave”) plays Blake, the hitman that organises the whole team. Not only is Killam unbearable to watch but it turns out that he directed and wrote this abomination so most of the blame for this movie can be put on him. Schwarzenegger is all over the promotional material yet he doesn’t even show up until well into the third act. He looks absolutely terrible here as he’s not maintained the physical fitness that Sylvester Stallone (“Rambo”) has. Schwarzenegger looks happy to be here but I imagine he was paid rather handsomely.

It’s a shame to see Schwarzenegger go from being arguably the top action star in the world in the 90s with “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” to doing what is little more than a cameo in a film as disastrous as this. I hated this movie as it combines poor comedy with an awkward mockumentary style and abysmal found-footage camerawork. “Killing Gunther” is not a long movie but it feels like a marathon because it is just so tiresome. The movie is offensive in the sense that it is idiotic and lazy. I despised “Killing Gunther” from the first frame right until the end credits.
