Queremos Matar Gunther

This is a really funny movie all the way through to Arnie singing a country music song in the end cedits.

I did sort of assume that this was another 'use the star to market the film and not really have them in it' job and it did look like that for a long time. Arnie isn't in the film until the 67 minute mark but after that he is pretty much a constant.

However the actual movie up until Arnie is really good and gets better once he appears. Its supposed to be silly and it does have some great over the top moments. Arnie also delivers a bunch of his famous one liners (greatest hits style) as well.

I think those that didn't enjoy it maybe missed the point.

Have fun, they obviously did!

SPOILER: Firstly if you are a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger then be warned that as others have said, although the film suggests that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a star in it, there is a suggestion of his presence throughout but in reality he is on screen only for the last 20mins or so.

The film tells the story of a odd collection of hit men (and hit women) who get together to kill Gunther (Arnold Schwarzenegger), another hit man.

A documentary crew follow the odd squad as they try and kill Gunther. However he is always one step ahead of them, kills them one by one but they never get to see him.

It is laugh out loud funny in places. Other jokes miss the spot. The ending is very clever. Arnold Schwarzenegger looks odd in it. I think they were trying to make him look younger.

It is also nice to see Hannah Simone playing something other than a model. Her over protective but supportive father is one of the funniest themes in the film.

The whole documentary crew footage being the film struggles in places. Especially in the big shoot out in Gunther's house where for various reasons you are supposedly left with no cameramen but footage is still filmed.

Overall though it is an amusing film but could have been done better.

Killing Arnold

This film could have been so much better if Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the film through out it as opposed to just squished in at the end as some grand reveal. Plus as you already know the trailer spoils the heck out of the Schwarzenegger reveal, but you can't blame the trailer because they knew people would be more likely to watch a B-film if they knew a big star was in it. Long story short, editing hurts the film.

It's what you can call a marmite movie, you either love it or hate it. Best to watch with some friends, having some nibbles and beers. I felt entertained and had a good time, never expected it to be an Oscar contestant

My advice: if you are about to see this, start with low expectations and don't expect too many scenes with Arnold. All scenes with him are just hilarious and will reward you if you're an Arnie-fan.

This movie definitely does not try to take itself serious. It is a nicely shot comedy, with action and familiar faces.

And has a great ending accompanied with even greater ending credits.

Wait and listen to the ending credits songs and you will be positively surprised.

8/10 for the effort and the truly funny moments with Arnold.
