Amazon.com 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. Disclosure 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. --Jeff Shannon

One of my favorites. January 14, 2010 Andy Stephenson (Norman, Oklahoma) This tale of reverse sexual harassment is well done and very entertaining. Demi Moore makes a great calculating 'bitch', a woman that will do anything to reach her corporate goals. She sets Michael Douglas up so easily and almost destroys him. It's an older release, but it's one that I intend to enjoy again and again. I wanted to add it to my collection and at the low price, I chose to.
Somewhat stiff and stilted November 7, 2009 D. J. Nardi (Washington, DC) 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 October 29, 2009 C. Rocklein 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.
ceosr October 23, 2009 Calvin E. Oberly Sr. (Santa Maria, CA USA) Demi Moore is hot and very sexy, Michael Douglas and Demi Moore play a very good suspencful cat and mouse game, very good show
A Very Satisfying Story February 7, 2009 Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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?
