Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Andrew Gold Disclosure could have been a great movie. For its time, it probably was. All the ingredients are there - capable actors, an intriguing story, not to mention the erotic greatness provided by Demi Moore. She plays the boss of Michael Douglas' character, and she invites him to her office and proceeds to make sexual advances on him, then accuses him of sexually harassing her. The movie then goes into the mediation of these claims, and these are the best scenes because it really shows how people can instinctively side with the woman in these cases despite evidence pointing to the contrary. Moore's lawyer interrogates Douglas ruthlessly, asking him leading questions and bringing up their sexual history in order to make him look as guilty as possible. And on top of all that, Douglas is a family man so it's also taking a toll on his marriage. All of these elements work.What doesn't work is the cyber-thriller aspect. The computer graphics are HORRIFIC. Even for the '90s it looks bad; these days it looks like a glitchy Atari game. And one of the main plot lines revolves around Douglas receiving messages from an anonymous source on his computer, so a lot of time is spent looking at dated interfaces. The movie's climax goes a step further and throws virtual reality into the mix, and those scenes make the X-Files episode 'First Person Shooter' look like a visual masterpiece. It really takes you out of the movie, despite Ennio Morricone's best efforts on the music front.Disclosure is certainly watchable. It has some witty and clever dialogue, it deals with serious issues in a tasteful manner, and has a wonderful sex scene that will keep your eyes glued on screen even if you detest the rest of the film. Overall, Disclosure is a serviceable thriller, ending the Michael Douglas sex trilogy with a bang. Literally.

FilmBuff1994 Disclosure is a mediocre movie with a reasonably well developed storyline and a great cast. It's simply not as interesting as it seems, the title, the poster, the two lead roles, it all seemed like a very exciting film, and with the casting of Michael Douglas and the story set up, I was going in to this expecting another movie like Basic Instinct, and because of that I was left very disappointed with this dialogue based drama that desperately tries to put you at the edge of your seat several times, but it never really succeeds as a thriller. The performances are definitely the best part, the cast did the best they could with this mediocre script, Michael Douglas may not be playing another Gordon Gekko performance, but his pure natural ability for acting is always evident, and Demi Moore shines as the films antagonist, a very different role for her, the scenes between these two characters alone are the best parts, excluding the brutal "alternate reality" scene. What bothered me the most about this movie is that it all only really revolves on one scene, one moment that sums up the entire film, when Moore's character seduces Douglas's, the moments leading up to this don't feel hugely important, neither do any scenes after, there is no part after this that is any bit as exciting as that was, which is a shame since it happens within the first thirty minutes, and you're left with a story that drags on from this moment for another ninety minutes. It certainly has some qualities, but there is too much wrong with Disclosure to possibly recommend it. A man must fight for his career after a sexual harassment claim. Best Performance: Demi Moore Worst Performance: Dylan Baker

Desertman84 Disclosure is a thriller directed by Barry Levinson that stars Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. It is based on Michael Crichton's novel of the same title.The cast also includes Donald Sutherland, Rosemary Forsyth and Dennis Miller.The film is a combination mystery and thriller about office politics and intrigue in the computer industry in the mid-1990s. Also,it includes the issue of sexual harassment.Tom Sanders is an executive at DigiCom, a leading computer software firm. The company is about to launch a new virtual reality-based data storage system that is expected to revolutionize the industry, and Bob Garvin, the owner of the company, is in the midst of negotiating a merger that could bring $100 million into the firm. However, while Tom is expecting a promotion, he discovers the position has been given instead to a new hire, Meredith Johnson, with whom Tom had an affair years ago, before he was married. After her first day of work, Meredith invites Tom up to her office and makes a concerted attempt to seduce him; while Tom doesn't fight off her advances with very much gusto at first, eventually he decides things have gone too far and leaves in a huff. The next morning, Meredith accuses Tom of sexual harassment, and he realizes this was merely a power ploy to get him out of DigiCom for good; Tom, determined to fight, files a counter-suit, which makes him no friends at the company, since rocking the boat too hard could very well scotch the merger.The story takes some clever twists and turns as it develops into a full- fledged psychological thriller that is effective and gripping, if occasionally contrived as a result of over-plotting.The film is genuinely gripping and well-written.As for the performances,Moore makes an awesome femme fatale while Douglas triumps over evil in a big way.But it is a watchable film as well.

Neil Welch Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) not only finds himself passed over for an expected promotion, but his new boss turns out to be an old flame, Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore). When Meredith makes strong overtures to him, Tom initially goes along, only to refuse her. Furious at his rejection, Meredith accuses him of sexual harassment, so he makes a counter-accusation.Set against the corporate and executive positioning of a complex business deal, Michael Crichton's story (oh how we miss that man's creative output) strikes an interesting balance between techno-thriller, sexual politics commentary, courtroom drama, and urban paranoia thriller. The story is terrific - complex but always followable, gripping and involving, and with emotional ramifications as the essentially decent and blameless Sanders finds himself in an impossible situation.This is a good film, with one of the best payoffs ever, and I recommend it.
