A complicated historical figure needs a great actor to play them. Steven Soderbergh & his writers don't concern themselves with much more than Che's guerilla war in Cuba during the late 50s. Actually, that's not entirely true, there are B&W scenes interspersed throughout the film showing Che addressing the UN & accusing the USA of only having imperialist interests in Latin America. However, the film works well despite it's thematic minimalism.
Also, Del Toro gives one of the best performances of 2008. He may not lose himself in the part (like I've seen Daniel Day-Lewis do) but he's still great, making the character his own. The film is worth seeing just for del Toro alone.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

While Part One was more fast-paced and followed a more tradition story line it did not outshine Part Two. Soderbergh focuses on the failed revolution in Bolivia and Che’s struggles to repeat his past revolutionary success. What I found most appealing was that it showed that a revolution is not possible if only one man or a small group of men are dedicated to the cause. In Cuba, Che had the support of the guerillas as well as the campesinos. In Bolivia, Che’s own men seemed uninspired and hopeless. Soderbergh, by design or by accident, put the onus on the people. The failure of the Bolivian revolution was not placed on the shoulders of Che, but instead, it was placed on the shoulders of every Bolivian.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Del Toro continues to shine as Che in the second half of this moving and beautifully shot film. Soderbergh took great pains to be historically accurate. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Che Guevara -- or for just about anyone with a mind who doesnt mind using it from time to time.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
