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. 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

Customer Reviews

The Tables Are Turned.
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!
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?
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...
Barry Levinson has made an intentionally provocative story on sexism, where he has swaped the genders of the tradionally harrased victim and its agressor.
A man's carrier and marriage is put to the test when he's wrongfully accused for sexual harrasment.
"Disclosure" 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.

Spend your money elsewhere
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.
