Where to watch Disclosure
2 1/2 Stars
Tom Sanders is a manager at a computer company in Seattle. Happily married with children, Tom had big hopes for a promotion by his boss, but it goes to Meredith Johnson, Tom’s seductive ex-girlfriend, instead. Somehow Tom takes it with a grain of salt, until a personal meeting turns into a seduction when Meredith decides to relive her sexual fantasy and pick up from where they left off. Tom refuses, making Meredith frustrated. Tom’s only choice; to sue for sexual harassment. But everyone believes it was the other way around and his boss wants to transfer him to another division, forcing him to lose everything. Tom discovers not only is the system rigged against him, but Meredith’s going to destroy his career, and bolster her own by blaming him for a serious error of judgment on her part.
Disclosure is a sleekly produced sexual thriller with a well-polished script that lets both Michael Douglas and Demi Moore shine in equal measure. Moore’s at the height of her acting prowess here, playing a character exploiting her position of power over a former lover who once burned here for a more stable life. The film delves into some silly virtual reality sequence late in the third act, but is otherwise a solid tale presented as a 1990’s neo-Hitchcockian thriller
