Basically a legend of the genre. Barry Levinson is more than a solid craftsman and was able to create a decent and relatively suspenseful thriller from a pumped-up script with plenty of properly spicy scenes (sexual harassment, conversations with lawyers). Demi Moore is extremely attractive and relatively talented as an actress, and here the role of a bitch suits her more than well. And the long-haired tomcat Michael Douglas? He delivers one of his typical roles and again does an excellent job. Even though the film essentially revolves around conversation and the tension is built solely through escalated dialogues, it is definitely worth watching, as evidenced by its relative popularity among viewers and relatively high worldwide earnings.
