Reviews


75
Chicago Sun-Times - Richard Roeper
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.
70
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
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.
67
Consequence of Sound - Randall Colburn
Not all of Killing Gunther lands as well as it should. The humor feels inconsistent at times.
60
Village Voice - Danny King
It’s little more than a diverting sketch, but its characters justify its ninety minutes, and Killam’s unremitting enthusiasm is occasionally contagious.
50
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Although the production is sporadically amusing, it feels like a 20-minute short that was expanded to feature length to its considerable detriment.
