Televisions.com thinks:

Interesting new interpretation of the
Vietnam drama "Coming Home" -
but the movie flopped, despite its all-star cast.

PICTURE QUALITY:
Average - particularly disappointing were the weak sharpness and low detail. Strong colors and a clean, stable picture did at least win some plus points.

(5 out of 10 points)

SOUND QUALITY:
While the war scenes do offer a few sound effects, they're a little too timid - what's the subwoofer for, after all?

(5 out of 10 points)

BONUS MATERIAL:
Trailers - and that's it! And this comes despite the huge number of extras - given the subject matter - that the movie could have offered.
