**** Out Of *****
Purple Heart is not only a powerful film with a stellar cast and great direction but it’s also a film that is thought-provoking and shocking at the same time. I highly recommend seeing this film and credit has to go to Director William Birrell for taking on such a daring subject matter. Patrick Ricketts, Video Views
