The modern world is rocketing fast into the anticipated future much quicker than humanity at large can absorb it. In such a world, society and the roles of men and women are struggling hard to adapt. Unfortunately, those evolutionary changes happen only because the panic stricken, easily upset and historical masses are throttled into monetary not moral compliance. In this sexually updated story, Bob Garvin (Donald Sutherland) is a corporate president of a prestigious computer giant who selects, Tom Sanders, (Michael Douglas) a married design executive for dismissal and hires a beautifully seductive woman executive, Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore) to set him up for sexual harassment. Establishing a rape charge against Sanders is easily enough, but is aptly challenged convincingly by Sander's exceptional attorney, Catherine Alvarez (Roma Maffia). Since the company want to insure Sander's dismissal, a second charge is presented at a stockholder's meeting, where Johnson will seek his dismissal for managerial incompetence. The storyline is in direct conjunction with modern trials in this country often concocted by unscrupulous ambulance chasing attorneys. The superb cast which includes Dennis Miller and Dylan Baker is top notched and adds to the film's credibility. For the audience, they are in for a treat as this movie will go the distance as a social Classic. ****
