Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The boys in Company C would have thrown beer bottles at the screen. Rated: 0.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Leonard Klady Winnipeg Free Press On balance, Purple Hearts is much better for its parts than for its whole. Aug 19, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the movie's almost-tolerable atmosphere is due primarily to Furie's handling of certain admittedly engaging sequences... Rated: 2/4 Dec 19, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Well intentioned but ultimately disappointing Vietnam War romantic melodrama. Rated: C Aug 13, 2011 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A romance story set in Vietnam that misses the mark completely. Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member this movie really gets you into the American Spirit watching the military fight overseas for the little scene that does show awesome The love romance in this movie is just beyond I'm glad I got to see this movie and I think it's one of my top movies of 2022 Netflix is definitely put out a great movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review s r A poor soap opera production that could've been better. Synthesizer soundtrack. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As a Marine Viet vet myself I found this movie to be total absolute crap. Not only was the correctness of Vietnam war wrong but the acting was total sophomoric. And as usual Lee Ermy as a supposed Viet himself was bullshit, which does not surprise me when it took him 9 years to make the rank of Sgt. in real life. this film had even less of truth about Marine Corps than Full Metal Jacket Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Harlequin Romance Novel meets Vietnam. About as appealing as a 3 week old leftover turkey. War , sex ,more sex .war He dies. she dies. Ooops! script rewrite .Sorry both survive without a scratch! Walk off into sun- literally! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I love it! It's got some beautiful people in a beautiful love story in an ugly war Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member yeah,yeah i know im such an old fashioned person but who cares?i saw this twice in cinemax and i fell in love with the story =) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
