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.
