Michael Douglas (“Basic Instinct”, “Black Rain”) and Demi Moore (“Nothing But Trouble”, “Striptease”) star in “Disclosure”, a romantic thriller about sexual harassment in the workplace. A lot of the movie works but it decides to get overly complicated (especially in the third act) and becomes completely ridiculous.

Computer company worker Tom Sanders (Douglas) is expecting a promotion but when that promotion goes to ex-lover Meredith Johnson (Moore) things go from bad to worse. She makes sexual advances towards him but when he will not go through with it, she accuses him of sexual harassment. Believing that the facts are on his side, his response is to sue her for sexual harassment.

Douglas plays a family man that has his career and his personal life put in the firing line when he is faced with serious allegations and he does a good job. Demi Moore is really quite good as the attractive and scheming Meredith. The love scene between the two is intense and entertaining. We really do believe that these two have a romantic history so I cannot complain about the lead performers. Donald Sutherland (“Space Cowboys”) and Dylan Baker (“Selma”) are a little annoying in supporting roles. Roma Maffia (“Double Jeopardy”) is good as Tom’s lawyer and Caroline Goodfall (“Cliffhanger”) is okay as Tom’s wife.

“Disclosure” starts off as a film about sexual harassment but it becomes increasingly about corporate conspiracy stuff and that is when the movie loses all focus. There is a hilariously corny scene where Douglas’ character uses a virtual reality gizmo to access the company’s files in cyberspace. The whole segment feels like a deleted scene from “The Lawnmower Man”. The more the film decides to move away from the sexual harassment case, the crazier it gets and we begin to lose interest in the characters.
