Review of Disclosure

Disclosure (1994)
4/10
Muffled message and blatant cliches.
9 June 2003
This film was supposedly about sexual harassment but somehow got diverted into corporate shenannigans. Michael Douglas and Caroline Goodall play the happily married couple and Demi Moore the predatory female with the hots for Douglas. The plot is convoluted involving takeovers, technology and an old love affair. The sexual harassment aspect seems to have been added as an afterthought and does not appear to add anything to the corporate goings on.

What really rankled me were the all too obvious differences between the two women. Demi Moore was made up and dressed up to the nines with figure-hugging dresses and killer heels. Caroline Goodall had no hair style, no dress style and no heels. I'm sorry if I'm going on too long about this but the contrasts were too blatant to be believable.

Also unbelievable was Douglas' refusal of Moore's advances. Why an actor of Douglas' calibre chooses to make films like this is difficult to fathom. The same could also be said of the other cast members. I've rated this film 4 because there is a serious message in there somewhere but this is not the film to broadcast it.
