Che

Steven Soderberg Benecio Del Toro

Very nice portrayal of the career of the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. Somewhat sanitized but not nearly as bad as The Motorcycle Diaries. The real Che was a nasty sucka who killed men who got in the way of what he saw as the righteous path...beware of true believers.

Still, this was beautifully staged, shot and paced. I appreciated the fact that SS used his clout in Hollywood to get a biopic of a serious lefty on the screen. Like Warren Beatty with Reds he has raised the level of dialogue in the country a notch or two.
