“Killing Gunther” (** out of four) was a heavy-handed comedy about a group of eccentric assassins (Coble Smulders, Hannah Simone, Taran Killam) who decide to locate and retire the world’s greatest assassin (Arnold Schwarzenegger) but he remains one step ahead at all times and turns the tables on them. Fast-paced comedy is too uneven and never quite hangs together although this may be your only chance to hear Arnold sing country music (he actually says in one scene “I’m coming for you Brad Paisley”). Stay through the credits for one of Arnold’s country “songs”, if you make it that far.
