Michael Crichton's bestselling novel was both a high-tech thriller and source of controversy with its hot-button plot about a man's charge of sexual harassment against a female colleague and former lover. The movie, directed by Barry Levinson, turned these issues into a prurient thriller gussied up in glossy production values, virtual reality computer graphics, and steamy sex between Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. Having cornered the market on roles for men whose brains are located south of their waistline, Douglas is well cast as the computer-industry guy who loses a plush promotion to the opportunistic Moore, and he's perfected the expression of paranoid panic. If you don't think about it too much, this is one of those films that can draw you into its manipulative web and really grab your attention. <i>Disclosure</i> is more entertaining than thought provoking (because the filmmakers basically danced around the story's potential controversy), but there's enough star power and visual glitz to make this an enjoyable ride. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i>
Viewer Reviews This little film, last in a long string of Michael Douglas movies where he plays cat-and-mouse with a vindictive woman, is an entertaining romp through brinkmanship office politics. In this case, it is the man who is sexually assaulted, and nobody believes him. Donald Sutherland plays the slimy CEO who is only too willing to sacrifice careers and reputations when his investment is on the line. Twists and turns in the plotline keep the denouement suspenseful to the last scene. Filmed in and around Seattle, the cinematographers do a good job of capturing some of our great scenery -- but a lousy job of tying it all together. Tom Sanders takes the Vashon auto ferry but arrives in downtown Seattle, not Fauntleroy. Sanders looks out across the sound from his home but sees Seattle -- not Tacoma. His office in Pioneer Square has a view from Queen Anne.... Oh well. At least it's not raining all the time!
