Good but the ending could have been handled better
4 September 2022
"The Internecine Project" is a fascinating film which, in light of recent political scandals, doesn't seem all that farfetched today. Professor Elliot (James Coburn) is being nominated for a top government position. But he has a dirty past which could derail this nomination. So, he decides to clean up any loose ends...specifically to kill off four people who worked for him in the past and know how ruthless he can be. In other words, he's killing loyal people who put their lives on the line for him. But he's clever (too clever) and decides to do it in a way that will leave him blameless...he'll get the four to kill each other!

This is an interesting story. I think the ending, though downbeat, wasn't bad...it was just HOW this ending occurred seemed a bit silly and hard to swallow. If you can look past this, however, you still have a decent story...one that, sadly, doesn't seem all that unlikely.
