TB, I agree about Neri's look. However, the insidious of Michael's actions is highlighted by what was probably an appreciable period of between Michael's words to Neri and Fredo's murder. It's insidious because Michael had plenty of time to reconsider his proposed action. Still, he murdered Fredo. Perhaps Kay's words to him about a divorce, etc. solidified his belief that he was besieged and needed to act resolutely.
