The promotional image for _Killing Gunther_ is impressive, but it also highlights the film's core issue: prominently featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I understand why this was done from a marketing perspective; it seems logical. However, I am convinced that the movie would have been significantly improved if his presence had remained hidden. It gives the impression that the film was originally conceived differently and then altered sometime after editing was complete. Ultimately, _Killing Gunther_ is an acceptable film, though it could have reached a much higher level of quality if the character of Gunther had been a surprise, rather than eliciting a “Finally!” reaction from viewers. _Final rating:★★½ - There were aspects I liked, but they didn’t fully come together._
