This DVD from Warner Brothers about a misfit squad searching for Nazi bullion isn't exactly pure gold (perhaps silver), but it will certainly please fans of the film. The widescreen presentation boasts a clean transfer, with Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio accentuating the wartime action and fine musical score. Both French and English soundtracks are available, with optional subtitles in the same languages. Where this DVD comes up a little short is in regard to bonuses. The trailer is included, as is information on the cast and crew, but that's about it. Commentary, further information on the making of the film, or some extra scenes would have been nice, but are unfortunately missing. For fans of this film, however, the transfer alone will be enough to persuade them to join up with Kelly and his oddball friends.

Some box-office flops get the special treatment DVD, but that clearly isn't the case with Windtalkers, a disaster of epic proportions. Supplements are very slim here, with just a theatrical teaser and a few trailers for this and some other MGM films, such as Hart's War and a teaser for the Bond film Die Another Day. On the bright side, the image, which has both a 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer and a severely cropped full-frame version, is wonderfully presented. From the golden brown of Monument Valley to the red of the free-flowing blood, colors are right on target. Detail is also strong and any distracting elements, such as grain, seem non-existent. Sadly, the sound is not up to par with the visual presentation. The 5.1 Dolby Digital track does show some interesting separation up front, but strangely enough for a war film, the back surrounds are never used in any meaningful way. Clearly, with some exceptions, this is a mediocre disc to an overall lackluster film.
