Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

cronostitan By the specialist of the trendy thriller, this movie rather well pinned also speaks about the difficult square in the society that all those can occupy sometimes who do not enough sit - at least not endowed with varied and diverse protections. What it will be necessary to raise it is that Crichton dodges these long sequences of court with strong theatrical echo which we undergo very often among soaps in the TV (and also in John Grisham's books and in adventures of the TV show Ally Mc Beal), instead of it he joins in the life the office among this great number of "small" details that all those sometimes forget who do not work: another tour de force very rich in teaching...Because freedom is also a question of money although people are not globally more free than before in the old time, it is simply wrong!! Careful thus in "politically correct" falsified, in the traps, in the blackmail, in the propaganda, in the jealousy...

hall895 I suppose the idea of Michael Douglas being sexually harassed by Demi Moore could be intriguing. Could be. But in this movie it doesn't end up being intriguing at all. The story fizzles out before it ever really gets going. The movie goes on and on without ever really going anywhere. There's no spark, no sizzle. Attempts at humor fall horribly flat. The only laughs in this movie come from laughing at just how bad it is, most notably in the big climactic virtual reality scene. Wait, big climactic virtual reality scene? Yeah, it's just as stupid as it sounds, an awful idea executed so badly you can't help but laugh at how truly terrible it is. This is a movie which fails in pretty much every way possible.Douglas plays Tom Sanders, the head of production at some high-tech Seattle outfit. There's a big merger on the horizon, Tom expects a big promotion to go with it. But the job he covets goes to Meredith Johnson, a one-time girlfriend of his who celebrates their reunion by trying to rape him in her office. When Tom says no, not before having a little fun of course because the movie needs its obligatory sex scene, Meredith promises to ruin him. And the next day she duly accuses him of sexual harassment. He gets himself a lawyer, accuses her and it's a big he-said, she-said deal which only serves to bore those of us who are unfortunate enough to be watching. Drama and tension are in very short supply. Tedium is the order of the day. Moore's absolutely atrocious acting doesn't help matters. My goodness, she is terrible. The story slogs along, everyone ganging up on poor Tom in some horribly uninteresting conspiracy. It's not just Meredith out to get him, this goes all the way up to the big boss at the top. That character, played by Donald Sutherland, is I suppose meant to seem sinister but the way Sutherland mugs and overacts he just comes off as a buffoon. Just another example of the way this movie completely misses the mark. And just when you think it can't possibly get any worse along comes that absurd virtual reality scene which is simply one of the dumbest things ever seen in any movie. Even after that laughable "climax" the movie doesn't have the decency to just end. More pointless, boring twists to come. The whole thing is just interminable. Movies don't get much worse than this.

Leofwine_draca A tale of sexual harassment in the office with a twist – this time, the guy is the victim and the woman the pursuer. Yes, it's another thriller that builds on Michael Douglas's typecasting as a victim of powerful women (following FATAL ATTRACTION and BASIC INSTINCT) but this one plays all the right cards. Part workplace drama, part courtroom thriller, and all the time invested with now-dated-but-then-cutting-edge technology (email, virtual reality) I found Disclosure to be never less than intriguing and well made. The Crichton source material helps, of course; I haven't yet seen a Crichton film that hasn't been thought-provoking and entertaining (even the worst, CONGO, isn't entirely without merit, although the book is loads better).I've been seeing a lot of Douglas in recent months and my opinion of him has steadily improved to the degree that I can't remember him giving a bad performance. He's fine here, providing a key likable anchor for the film to revolve around, and playing opposite him Demi Moore is also a surprise: she oozes sexuality and selfishness in equal measure, proving a powerful enemy at all times. Moore isn't the world's greatest actress but this might well be her best performance in a film.The courtroom scenes, tense and full of electricity, are undoubtedly the film's highlights and there are supporting actors to relish (Donald Sutherland, Allan Rich and in particular a slimy Dylan Baker). It's not a perfect film, but it is a reminder of the kind of solid, sensual thriller that got made during a sometimes forgotten decade of filmmaking.

Jakemcclake This movie was very well filmed in the form of a mystery. It begins by raising the issue of whether men can be sexually harassed and it was advertised this way. The movie also raises the question about sex discrimination in the work place and sexual politics, which centers around a promotion.Another issue permeates the entire movie from the very start and continues right to the end, in the form of technical talk that I, like most viewers wanted to ignore. After all, there are far more important things to consider here, like whether a man can be sexually harassed and are women discriminated against in the workplace. Who wants to think about the problems with the CD Rom Disk Drives for Archamax? When the mystery is revealed in the end, we find out who really knows what is going on, it leaves the viewer with a satisfied feeling. Of course, at this point all is forgiven for one of the characters, the bad person gets their just desserts, justice is served all around, and then we hear the inspiring music and we get a chance to feel good.
