Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

merklekranz First, not for one moment will you believe that you are looking at the best mercenaries money could buy. The action appears more like some boy scouts horsing around at camp. While there are a few creative moments at the beginning and at the end, what is in between consists of a rape scene followed by endless climbing around a rock quarry. The outdoor photography is fine, however that is not why exploitation films succeed. I thought Alex Rocco's character, "Wick", was by far the most interesting, followed by everyone else. Make no mistake, this is a low budget, drive in second feature, that would be very easy to sleep through. - MERK

Wizard-8 "Brute Corps" was never released on videotape, and it was only recently that it was released on DVD. Seeing it, I can understand why it took so long for it to be released for home viewing. I can't understand why Code Red DVD thought there was an audience for it. It is an extremely cheap affair, for one thing. It looks like there was very little money available for props, actors, and set decoration. As well, there is very little action executed during its running time. For the remaining running time, almost NOTHING of interest happens. In fact, there is a weird feeling throughout that the filmmakers were making it up as they were filming. I rented this movie because Alex Rocco was in it, and while he usually adds life to a movie, here he seems utterly helpless and lifeless. Even if you're a die hard grindhouse fan, odds are you will fall asleep way before the movie ends.

HumanoidOfFlesh Very brutal and violent 1972 action flick with Alex Rocco and Jennifer Billingsley.A group of sadistic mercenaries take over a small Mexican desert town and kidnap,rape and abuse a young hitch-hiker and her new boyfriend after giving them a lift.Alex Rocco plays a menacing psycho soldier in this flick beating and torturing the girl and telling her to get down on all fours like a dog and say aloud "I'm animal!!".Gritty and exciting action/survival thriller with plenty of violence and a bit of sleaze.The cinematography is grainy and the desert setting works perfectly well.It's great to see such obscure 70's exploitation classic before highly acclaimed "The Expendables" with Sly Stallone and Dolph Lundgren.8 out of 10.

stevenfallonnyc After a long search, I finally got a nice copy of the virtually unknown Brute Corps, and it was well worth the wait! The story consists of this band of mercenaries for hire who travel in army vehicles, and cause all sorts of havoc along their way. They particularly like to abuse and humiliate women, and take no guff from anyone (especially a band of bikers). If any of the group aren't actually causing trouble at any particular time, then they are sitting there and smiling and laughing while others in the group do it.Eventually they come across two hippies hiking cross country; one a young man and the other his gorgeous girlfriend. What happens after that must be seen to be believed! Many familiar faces abound, and despite the no-budget look, this is actually a very well-made film. "Brute Corps" is definitely worth a look for all fans of rare cinema.
