Review of Disclosure

Disclosure (1994)
7/10
Carefully directed film with good performances
17 March 2008
This is a film that poses many intriguing questions about the gender war in the workplace.In a clever piece of casting Michael Douglas,a self confessed sex addict and star of many a film where his impulsive sexual urges have gotten him in over his head,stars in a role that finds him as prey as Demi Moores bitch boss from hell doesn't take too kindly to her aggressive advances being spurned. What follows is a battle to save face between Douglas and Moore. This is probably Demi Moores best performance to date,she trades blows with Douglas giving a confident and suitably aggressive performance enriched with an intimidating sexual presence. The film,contrary to what the poster may have you believe, is not by any means graphic which may be why the films IMDb rating is so low but i would urge anyone interested in sexual politics in the workplace to give the film a try.Its performances and direction are not earth shattering but the idea is interesting and holds tight until the final credits.
