Demi more was definitely the it girl in the early 90s. After a few good men, people somehow wanted her in everything from gi jane, to indecent proposal to this. This movie was definitely one of her better acting roles.
Let me say I'm usually generous with 90's movies. I watch these with my girlfriend and she gives everything almost 2 points lower than what i give. And she gave this a 5 and I gave it a 6. So we almost on the same path.
I will start with the problem with this movie. They don't have a simple plot. Now i didn't read the book but just off what I'm seeing this movie was about a woman who wanted strike a merger with a big company and by the it girl in a company while at the same time sticking it to her ex by claiming a sexual harassment charge. Thats a tough sell for a movie with a plot.
Demi more was extremely attractive and some of the lines you hear the lawyer and his boss say about "you got sexually assaulted by a woman, come on" are the same type of stuff they would tell you today. Nobody would care.
But to actually critique the movie and give a "if you must watch it" or "is it good" type of review. Yes, its good. Michael douglas is great. And the woman who played the wife was great. Although Im truly upset cause the way she acts after her husband cheats on her and the stuff that comes out in that conference is the way no woman have ever acted in the US after something like that. Most would have divorce papers ready in hand at the conference. Her character was awful, which kind of rubbed me the wrong was an adult who has been in relationships.
The real great part of the movie was the ending. I thought after the conference as over and the results came out the movie was over. Cause i couldn't remember what actually happened. And to my surprise the ending was great, scripted as movies are to make the guy come out on top but it was a good ending. And demi had some very good words at the end of the movie.
Again i usually don't type this much about a movie review but this movie is really strange. This is not a topic that is discussed even 30 years later. I got this movie for 7.99 digitally nothing about this says i need to own this on 4k. But it was good to watch and great acting from demi and Michael Douglass, It just took a realistic problem that never really got fixed in society and made it into some fake fighting for you job corporate thing which a lot of movies like to do. So for that it gets a 6. Get a new plot or dig deeper and tackle the issue. You lost 4 points for no reason why you could have been on to something.
