Synopsis
Khalil is an Arab diplomat who wants to not only make peace with Israel, but admit the Jewish state as a member of OPEC. This instantly makes him a target for a series of ingeniously conceived assassination attempts, most of which he foils with the aid of his friend Hamid and his girlfriend Nicole. But can he trust even them?

Chicago Sun-Times
A movie with an impenetrable plot that nevertheless has its moments. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Performances from the two principals are as developed as the frequently convoluted script allows them to be. - 40
Variety
The Next Man emerges more a slick travesty with political overtones than the cynical suspense meller it was designed to be. - 40
The New Yorker
The picture teeters on the edge of parody without giving itself the relief of falling over. - 30
The New York Times
A suspense melodrama made by people whose talent for filmmaking and knowledge of international affairs would both fit comfortably into the left nostril of a small bee.
