A poor soap opera production that could've been better. Synthesizer soundtrack.

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

The boys in Company C would have thrown beer bottles at the screen.

On balance, Purple Hearts is much better for its parts than for its whole.

...the movie's almost-tolerable atmosphere is due primarily to Furie's handling of certain admittedly engaging sequences...

Rated: 2/4
