Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Disturbing Bunuel film.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Sure, El Bruto is relatively apolitical but that's because Buñuel is drunk on animal magnetism.

Slant Magazine
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Bunuel, for the first time in his life, was busy earning a decent living by turning out popular comedies and melodramas for Latin American audiences and, occasionally, making films of real distinction. El Bruto is not one of these.

[A] rambunctious, entertaining film.

Rating: B- --
a Frankenstein variant as the title character is physically as strong as the cattle he slaughters, yet the gentle soul remains vulnerable to the charms of women

Description by OLDIES.com:
A rare classic Mexican film noir! The Brute is a brawny slaughterhouse worker who relies more on muscle than brain power. He's hired by a landlord to intimidate his unwanted tenants into moving, but ends up seducing the daughter of one of them, much to the annoyance of the landlord's wife, with whom he's also having an affair... of plot twist, this should be on any noir lovers short list.
