The Internecine Project Movie Reviews

Playing people like a house of cards.

When one card falls, all cards fall, and that’s the goal of rising government official James Coburn in this sly political drama. He is determined to wipe out for government assassins who know too much about him, and that means having them kill each other so he is not directly linked. It’s scary and sly and ingenious, and it’s James Coburn at his absolute best. It’s also time sensitive which is why he has to set it up so his lover Lee Grant doesn’t figure things out, although as she begins to get suspicious, she comments “A little fascism can go a long way.”

One of the writers of the script was future hot shot director Barry Levinson, and it’s one of the best director all efforts of Ken Hughes. When the murders are indeed committed, they are brutal and painful and terrifying, with one in particular (death by the presence of a piercing painful sound) quite scary.

I wasn’t really crazy about the ending which seems like some key element was deleted, but with terrific performances by Keenan Wynn, Harry Andrews, Michael Jayston and Ian Hendry, the viewer’s attention is sure to be held. There is also some great location footage of London in the early 1970s, and for a good majority of the film, everything seems to be running smoothly. Perhaps the issue was in the editing room, but unfortunately, that affects the final product which ultimately affects the final rating.

None Of Them Seem Worth Saving

Harvard economics professor James Coburn is about to be appointed to a presidential board. Industrialist and political power Keenan Wynn warns the ex-spy that there should be no skeletons coming out of his closet, like the four operatives he had working as spies for him in Europe. So Coburn works out an elaborate plan in which they all wind up killing each other.

It’s the sort of thriller that you watch, waiting for something to go wrong. It’s all pitched at such an icy, manipulative level, that you wind p hoping something will go wrong, but none of the people involved really seem worth saving. Only Lee Grant, a news reporter and occasional lover of Coburn, who knows nothing about any of these shenanigans, seems decent, and she is on screen a total of maybe five minutes.

It’s co-written by Jonathan Lynn.

more internecine than you realize

In one of his most eye-opening roles, James Coburn plays a US diplomat in England who gets hired to be one of the president’s cabinet members. But several people know too much about his sordid past, so he decides to make sure that they don’t reveal anything. So, he devises a plan to have each of them kill each other. But it turns out that they’re ahead of him.

“The Internecine Project” has a very ’70s look, with the pre-digital secret technology (which, combined with London’s dreary nocturnal environs, gives the movie a more mysterious feel). Seeing how this movie came out during the Watergate era, I wonder whether it was playing off of people’s growing suspicion of the government. But even if it wasn’t, it still comes out really well. It does more to show what a great actor James Coburn was. Lee Grant, Harry Andrews and Ian Hendry also star.
