Somewhat stiff and stilted
Added 11/7/2009
The concept behind this movie is intriguing - a sexual harassment suit in which the guy is the victim. Michael Douglas is great. However, Demi Moore can't act at all. Much of the script sounds like a bad political speech rather than actual dialogue. The music would work for an international spy thriller, but sounds out of place here. I'd like to see this concept, with Michael Douglas, but redone a bit better.

Michael and Demi in good form
Added 10/29/2009
Michael Douglas and Demi Moore - you know it's gonna be decent. It takes just a little while to get warmed up, but when it does finally, it's a good little thriller set in the corporate workplace about a man unjustly accused and a woman (his boss) the accuser. A scenario that hasn't been worked as often as you'd think it would have, or should have. Disclosure is a satisfying movie that's well worth catching if you didn't see it in the mid-90s.

A Very Satisfying Story
Added 2/7/2009
This was satisfying to watch, just to see justice done to an evil character (played well by Demi Moore). It's also refreshing - and astonishing - to see the flip side of the coin: a man accusing a woman of sexual harassment and proving it! What a unique twist, almost unheard of in the Liberal world of mainstream films.
Michael Douglas co-stars with Moore and is good, too, but I found Douglas' lawyer "Catherine Alvarez" played by Roma Maffia, to be the most interesting of them all and making the most profound statements in this tale of "power" (not sex).
Donald Sutherland gives another convincing performance as a "bad guy" as well. That's a role he seems best suited to play. All the actors are good on this adaption from a Michael Crichton book.
The radical feminists didn't like this movie, so you know the the film has something going for it besides good acting and dialog. They want everything slanted to them, but as it's pointed out in the film, things can go both ways.....and what's wrong with an even playing field?

Turning Expectations, and Geography, Upside Down
Added 11/26/2008
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!
