Once... Tom Sanders comes into work and finds a big surprise waiting for him: his ex-lover, sexy and fierce Meredith Johnson, is about to seize the vice-president position he expects and deserves. Once she's settled into her posh office, Meredith all-too-innocently invites Tom up after work for an "office chat," only to ply him with fine wine and make some strong advances towards him. When Tom resists, Meredith threatens him, and within days, Tom has decided to file a sexual harassment suit against her. Since nobody believes that a man could be victimized like this, Tom must use all his ingenuity to prove his innocence and her manipulativeness. [More]

Reviews for Disclosure
This is a deeply silly film, highlighting some of Hollywood's most overrated talent at its indulgent, issue-chasing worst.
The movie comes closest to thematic coherence, and the popular mood, in its depiction of something nearly everyone can relate to: the office from hell.
You know in advance what the politics will be: strong women in positions of power are just fine as long as they aren't sexually dominant and obey middle-class rules of propriety.
Levinson and Attanasio don't ignore the basics of the tale, but don't indulge them either, subjectively approaching Tom's character to maximize dramatic involvement and treating the most explosive aspects of the story more rationally than emotionally.
The movie's subject is the intricate web of paranoia and competitive aggression that creeps down and smothers any flicker of loyalty.
Levinson' sleek psychological thriller, which is set in the corporate world, is skin-deep in treating sexual harrassment but the trashy flick may popularize the use of e-mail since that's the way Michael Douglas gets his threatenting messages.
Hokey and classy in equal measure, this is better than it ought to be.
Entertaining adaptation of Michael Crichton's sexual harassment thriller.
