Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
Killing Gunther is filled with explosive action. As a director, Killam displays a veteran’s knack for shooting the shootouts and fisticuffs, nearly all of it carried out in slapstick, nearly “Three Stooges”-level comedic fashion.

|
Los Angeles Times -
Save a bit of narrative padding (karaoke, anyone?), this is a mostly swift and lively ride as the tables turn — and turn again — in some absurdly clever ways.
|
|
Consequence of Sound -
Not all of Killing Gunther lands as well as it should. The humor feels inconsistent at times.
|
|
Village Voice -
It’s little more than a diverting sketch, but its characters justify its ninety minutes, and Killam’s unremitting enthusiasm is occasionally contagious.
|
|
ReelViews -
Although the production is sporadically amusing, it feels like a 20-minute short that was expanded to feature length to its considerable detriment.
