Too many fans seem to be blown away

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Disclosure came at just about the right time. Computers and the use of technology such as virtual reality was at its height in the early 90s, as were work place harassment and issues related to that. Certainly in Hollywood it seemed that is all they made and Michael Douglas seemed to have a propensity to choose such scripts where he is falsely accused and framed. Demi Moore is ravishing here and the pacing is really good. The setting used is good- scenic Pacific Northwest as opposed to Los Angeles and New York City. You should watch this film if you haven't already.

Slick Movie with a Message, Albeit a Role Reversal. It is a Competently Made Story About Corporate Intrigue and Sexual Harassment. None of it is Surprising or Thrilling for that Matter. It is Sort of Hollywood Gloss Trying to be Relevant.It Might be Prescient in the "newly discovered" World of Workplace Power Plays Between the Sexes, but its Computerese and Techno-Babble Made Here to be Cutting Edge is Hopelessly Dated Out of the Box. That VR Thing went Absolutely Nowhere.Michael Douglas and Demi Moore are Perfectly Cast and Donald Sutherland is in His Slime Mode that He does So Well and the Supporting Cast is Fine, Except for Dennis Miller (more on that later). But the Movie is of Two Minds and Neither Comes Out Smelling Very Well. The Movie doesn't Stink but Considering the Talent Involved, Director Barry Levinson, the Cast and the Michael Crichton Source Material, it is Flat and Fatuous.Note...In this Movie Dennis Miller tries yet another career move, from Comedian to Actor to Sports Commentator to Radio Talk Show Host, and finally as a Flunky for Bill O' Reilly. The Man just won't give up even after one failure after another. He is an Embarrassment to every field where He shows up. Maybe He should try the pasture.

This is an exciting little drama thriller where computer specialist Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) is sued for sexual harassment by former lover-turned-boss Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore), who actually instigated the act. This puts Tom's reputation and family life on the line.From Meredith's sensual desires to her crafty accusations, Demi Moore proves should could play a seductive, powerful and devious villain. And, Douglas gave a vulnerable, yet commanding performance as Tom Sanders, attempting relentlessly to prove his innocence. He and Demi have strong head-butting chemistry that adds on to the suspense and thrills to this movie. The supporting cast also did a great job in their respective roles, providing dry wit and dark humor in an otherwise thrilling drama.The movie also provides an interesting inside look in the corporate workplace, where gender roles sometimes collide and the consequences it produces. While the plot is somewhat predictable, the overall tension, twists-and-turns, and powerful acting, especially during the courtroom drama, make this film an edge-of-your-seat ride.Grade B

I a twenty-year-old in the early '80's--and male, AND in the military, I suffered as much as any male in the corporate World regarding the sexism's against the male, the racism against the White, and especially the White-male. It was "open season" on especially White males who were especially disregarded in both being a victim and defense of sexual harassment and racism. This was due to the definition of sexual harassment which, unofficially, was defined as "thinking from behind your zipper---a definition (cleaned up a bit) common to men, for the purpose to "gain power over a person." At that time, changed since thanks to "Sex in the City", women were still seen as sluts and not sexually aggressive. Women, the whole time, were free to practice sexual harassment and discrimination (then called, "get even-ism") which developed as a practice of oversensitivity. The power for which women did (and do) as they practiced sexism was not thinking out of their zipper, but using oversensitivity to the defined sexism (which is sexist in its nature)as a tool to gain power over their environment. In short, women do not practice sexism to gain power over a person, but of an environment (which includes people--male and female). They will use oversensitivity to garner a complaint against a male competitor for a promotion, and the male had no defense as it was open season on him.This movie (book too?) had Demi Moore's character practicing sexism to gain power over a male competitor to gain power over him by actually using sex. This is not consistent with how women sexually harass. The writers had her using her vagina to gain power over a male, (not unbelievable today, thanks again, to the aforementioned Sex in the City) instead of practicing (and exposing to the public) the way a woman harasses and discriminates.Had she gone through the movie accusing every male of impropriety's, she would have been a normal "femi-nazi" sexist-believable and bared to the movie-going public--and exposing women's sexism (which is *still* not today in 2011) to the mainstream and opening doors for women to be included in the sexual harassment policies.As it stands, this movie does what corporations have done since the 1972 equal rights laws have been doing---leaving women out of guilt, and men being the target.This is what this movie fails to recognize.Demi Moore's character is sexually aggressive to gain power over a person--and not there environment.
