Plots(1)
Killing Gunther is set in the world of contract killers. A group of young, raw, and undisciplined assassins hire a docu-crew at gunpoint to have undeniable proof that they're the ones who will kill the most infamous hit man of all time, Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger). But Gunther is on to them before they know it and makes their lives a living hell, turning the hunters into the prey in a kill-or-be-killed race against time. (Dazzler Media)

I decided to watch this film based on the low ratings here, hoping it would be unintentionally hilarious just like the Sharknado series. It wasn't. They humor was so forced that it resulted in a weird, cringey affair that felt embarrassing to watch. The only funny thing was the CGI snake being shot to bits, and one star goes to Arnold for his unmistakable accent.

I have to admit that it's pretty great that Arnold Schwarzenegger can make fun of himself, and yet it's just not funny in places and it's rather awkward. But it does have a story that's not downright futile, characters that are pretty good, and a few familiar names that you'll enjoy. Arnold is only at the end, but at least he's enjoying it. Maybe a bit too much.
