Review Date:

The Blu-ray of 'Gold' offers a stellar performance from McConaughey, vibrant audio, and decent video; however, the special features are somewhat lackluster.

Video: 72

Gold's Blu-ray presentation offers an organic, filmic experience with rich color depth and deep blacks, though some scenes suffer from definition issues and pixelation. The 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer delivers standout colors and impressive detailing, despite occasional flaws due to mixed camera usage.

Audio: 75

Gold's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track provides an immersive and dynamic sound experience with clear, crisp dialogue and rich environmental effects. Despite occasional minor prioritization issues with narration, the mix effectively balances music, effects, and vocals to enhance the film's liveliness.

Extra: 37

The extras for "Gold" include a detailed audio commentary by Director Stephen Gaghan, a deleted sequence that adds depth to the protagonist relationships, and three concise featurettes discussing film origins, Thailand shooting locations, and Matthew McConaughey's transformative performance.

Movie: 50

Gold boasts impressive performances, especially from McConaughey who fully immerses into his role, yet its predictable narrative and lackluster character engagement leave it feeling inconsequential; despite the fascinating true story backdrop and solid technical execution, the film struggles to offer a truly memorable experience.
