This ahead-of-its-time tale of a disaffected Vietnam veteran gets a respectful presentation for its DVD release.

The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono; the dialogue is in English, with no multiple-language options included. The disc features an alternate commentary track with director Max Kleven and actors Dirk Benedict and Linda Blair, as well as biographies for the key cast and crew members. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
