The movie Disclosure based on the book of the same name by Michael Chrichton is about a male office drone being sexually harassed by his female boss. The premise sounds good however the film quickly falls apart and goes in different directions making me wonder what this film was suppose to be?

Is this movie a: 1. A legal drama shedding light on the fact sexual harassment is really about power and the gender of the person in power doesn't matter because power corrupts people. (It failed at making the point. The legal scenes were dull as dishwater)

2. Hostile corporate takeover thriller (The film should have stuck with that storyline)

3. A parable about corporate cultures dark side. (It failed there too.)

4. An erotic thriller. (There is nothing erotic about this film and believe me I have seen my share of erotic thrillers)

I grew up watching movies before the invention of CGI and some of the special effects back then aged well and some did not. In the case of Disclose the VR scene did not age well. It comes across as very silly.

The acting of Michael Douglas, Demi Moore and Donald Sutherland could not save this film.

Overall, don't waste your time on this film.
