When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Michael Douglas plays Tom Sanders, a successful computer specialist working for a big firm who is passed over for promotion in favor of an old flame named Meredith Johnson(played by Demi Moore). She is very ambitious, and seems to have undue influence over the CEO, which proves to be the case as Meredith tries to seduce Tom after hours in her office. Tom, a happily married man, is tempted by her beauty, but resists. He is later shocked to learn that she has reported him for sexual harassment, so he has no choice but to sue her, which endangers his future within the company, but Tom will discover that things are not as simple as they seem, and Meredith has another agenda at work...Based on Michael Crichton's novel, and well directed by Barry Levinson, this features fine acting by its stars, and a fascinating story with many twists and turns, that leads to a satisfying finale.

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.

One wishes this had focused on completely on his most famous theme -that of sexual harassment and how a man can be deemed guilty in absence of evidence. This is a serious problem and rarely (if ever) dealt with by Hollywood. The scenes involving this are convincing, particularly in the mediations where the chairman sides with the woman (Demi Moore) although the fact she is so sexually attractive makes the basic premise less plausible than it could have been.However the story is hobbled early on by too much 'techy' information and rather arbitrary plot details such as a mysterious email contact and a piece of evidence which magically shows up. It is not really clear why the company is spending so much time and effort trying to get rid of Michael Douglas, especially after the harassment case is settled. This leads to the final 40 minutes which are very clunky indeed. It is here that the 'techiness' really comes to the fore, and at a point when most viewers will have switched off since the real story has finished.The climactic scene in the exec meeting is very unconvincing. A typical Hollywood attempt at a big finale, which falls flat.An uncharacteristically poor score from Ennio Morricone adds to the general mediocrity.

I just recently read the novel, so I was excited about renting the movie version. I thought the movie was reasonably close to the book. The movie didn't get into the relationship between Meredith ( a blond in the book, played by Demi Moore) and the Donald Sutherland character. The book version of this relationship was somewhat creepy, but added weight to the interactions between the two.I thought the characters otherwise were reasonably true to to the book version. I enjoyed Dennis Miller as a wise cracking colleague. He seems perfect for that role, and i know he has played it often.I have to admit that Demi Moore looked awesome in the movie. She did a movie in the mid 1980's called Blame It On Rio. She was skinny and waif like. Boy, the wonders of modern surgery.
