Graham (Michael Caine) is passed over for a promotion at his company in favor of Bob (Peter Reigert), a younger yuppie with grand schemes of modernization. He realizes that the fastest way to get ahead is to remove the obstacles --Bob-- before him. But murder is a tricky thing, liable to get way out of control.
This is a pretty decent dark comedy, especially for its time. There is one scene that could be read as date-rapey, but the movie leaves enough leeway that if you're feeling generous, you can still have some reasonable doubt.
For whatever reason, Tubi has a very poorly censored version that is not marked as such, so I didn't know until about a quarter through. There are very few things that immediately spark my ire like an outside party deciding what I'm allowed to hear and see. So I would suggest finding an alternate viewing medium.
