Pauline Kael The New Yorker 01/19/2024
The Next Man teeters on the edge of parody without giving itself the relief of falling over. It's a four-million-dollar Grade B movie. Go to Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times 10/23/2019
There have been more expensive films this year, and more foolish ones, but The Next Man must be the most foolish film of such expense. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 10/30/2018
2.5/4
A movie with an impenetrable plot that nevertheless has its moments. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 07/18/2023
2/5
…it’s not just the incessant shots of the Twin Towers and Concorde that date Richard C Sarafian’s film; the political angle seems naïve even for the 70’s… Go to Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press 10/28/2019
The Next Man is not a good movie but it has something for everyone, especially if you want to see London, Nice, Morocco, Ireland, the Bahamas, Bavaria and New York and have nothing better to do on Thanksgiving day. Go to Full Review Bernard Drew Gannett News Service 10/23/2019
The Next Man is a beautifully photographed (by Michael Chapman) thriller, which goes all around the world and no place at all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Josh G 07/21/2023 Meh, go watch a bond film..... See more 07/14/2014 If you can get past the extreme implausibility of Sean Connery being cast as a Saudi Arabian diplomat, you'll find that this is an extremely dull film. After his predecessor is assassinated, Connery comes to New York to address the United Nations and announces sweeping changes to OPEC and relations with Israel. People threaten to kill him, he wanders around New York, dates a British woman, and it all culminates in a twist everybody has seen coming for the last hour. See more 11/03/2007 Oh well, its Connery.
