Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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 dressed 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. iDisclosure/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

Customer Reviews: The Tables Are Turned. September 16, 2008 Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful No, no, no! I think Mr 'A Customer' also reviewing here picked up the wrong end of the stick, his video tape copy wasn't rewound due to the fact the couple watching it had to hit the sheets mid-movie after watching Michael Douglas and Demi Moore in their intimate clinch; the whipcrack of the g-string removal does stir the blood somewhat! br /So, come on, Michael Crichton is no dispstick, and he's written more books-to-movie stories than most author's can wave a stick at, and someone has the gall to say it became boring? Nah, sorry, mate; are you sure you're reviewing the right movie? br /Innovative as another reviewer notes in that the 'sexism in the office' tables have been turned in that Demi has accused Michael Douglas of sexual harrasment, (an absolute dream for most blokes, right!), the plot flits across the top of Crichton's industrial espionage theme extremely well. For a sci-fi / semi-erotic thriller this movie does it's job admirably, as does, no doubt, the Bestselling book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. An inverted story on sexism, and how it can go both ways... October 29, 2001 eiffel@feffeman.com (Sweden) 4 out of 9 found this review helpful Barry Levinson has made an intentionally provocative story on sexism, where he has swaped the genders of the tradionally harrased victim and its agressor. brA man's carrier and marriage is put to the test when he's wrongfully accused for sexual harrasment. brDisclosure stands and delivers great suspense right from the start in this unusual story, yet though the plot is provocative, it is obvious it does it for commercial attention, one can't help to wonder if the film would have served better purpose had it been plain thoughtprovoking and raised serious questions about the sexual harrasment issues instead of raising serious money at the box office. a sex scandal, a mystery and a boring central charatcer? It's no Basic Instinct May 12, 2009 Stampy (England) Desperate for a promotion, Tom Sanders (Douglas) is distraught when the job is offered to his former fling Meredith (Moore) who sues him for sexual harassment. br / br /Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct was a massive smash in 1992, bringing a whole new erotica to the crime thriller genre with a certain Sharon Stone breaking the boundaries for the femme fatale character that would soon become a landmark in cinema. 2 years later Disclosure was released, taking a leaf out of that book, but try as Demi Moore might, she isn't Sharon Stone and the script isn't as powerfully symbolic as it thinks. br / br /Apart from Basic Instinct there have been numerous successful drama thrillers that suffice and thrive on the genre, with The Last Seduction being an obvious comparison to the battle of the sexes as this is. Linda Fiorentino's cold hearted character livens things up to become entertainingly devilish, Moore is too angelic for her protagonist's own good, and Michael Douglas' most boring character in the world does little too help the plot. br / br /The tagline "sex is power" may sound good and controversial but this plot seems to base itself on one poorly directed sex scene and using concepts of blackmail and family wellbeing to convey good over evil and power over weakness. Disclosure is too awkwardly balancing on its thin wire of this sex concept and it tries to make a court case of supposed harassment that is ludicrous. The prospect the script offers before you see it is reasonably promising. Demi Moore is a talented attractive actress who doesn't live up to her great performance in A Few Good Men. br / br / Michael Douglas having starred in Basic Instinct and other erotic thriller Fatal Attraction beforehand you would imagine is pretty used to this genre by now, but what went wrong? He is undoubtedly the most boring cinema creation ever created. br / br /Disclosure has many faults but there are some perks towards the end. After seeing a weakness in Moore's Meredith, a tension arises and the feeling of hope isn't too badly scripted you want to fit Disclosure in the cheesy collection. Whereas there aren't any twists the suspense coming to the finale may encourage you to finish. And despite the poorly balanced portrayal of controversial concepts, there is still sustained interest. br / br /One exceptionally bad element also is the science fiction part of Douglas' job. This whole computer generated imagery may look fancy but is a complete concept of waffle that is never fully explained, not to forget that Sanders' ambition for the promotion doesn't help you liking him as he doesn't work properly in the film's entirety till the final ten minutes. For a good drama thriller, The Last Seduction or Basic Instinct are the best. br / br /4/10 Spend your money elsewhere August 10, 2000 8 out of 23 found this review helpful When I first Hired this video it was only half rewound. I subsequently discovered it was not a rewinding error,The viewers before Myself had obviously given up half way through this excuse for a film. I my opinion the plot is condescending. The tense dramatic moments are laughable. The sex scenes seem like an attempt to drag punters into watching until the end, as is the attempted get with the times setting of a computer hardware company struggling to stay neck and neck with the competition.
