Wolff rating: NOT BAD
Plot summary: High-tech executive is slapped with a sexual harassment charge and fights back with one of his own.
Biased, pithy comments: This is a fast-paced thriller/whodunit, and as such it plays well. It appeals to the purient idea of a male sexual harassment case, and it tries to milk that for all it can be. Such aggrandizement of an unlikely situation is best forgotten and the more intricate plot based on Crichton's book is more interesting. There are a lot of plot holes and a few moments of ``Aww, come on!'', (especially in regard to the nicely-rendered but totally useless VR interface) but watchable on a rainy day. Bring popcorn, a friend to discuss the non-issue of male sexual harassment, and be prepared to shout back at the screen when it gets lame.
