Partly based on his own memoirs (Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War), Che: Part One follows Ernesto Che Guevara's transformation from humble physician to military leader during the Cuban Revolution, depicting his eventual overthrowing of the repressive Batista regime. Meticulously researched and containing intense and realistic depictions of guerrilla warfare, this is a captivating portrait of one of the most controversial figures of the Twentieth Century. An astounding and moving story of one man's belief and the events that would eventually shape him into becoming a legendary symbol of rebellion and hope.

	Reviewed by: Jawbreaker
Epic In Every Sense Tackling the enigma of Che was a huge risk for Soderbergh. A labour of love for Del Toro, the finished article is a faithful historical epic, with a fine lead performance. As a film it is fractured, uneven and jumps around. It demands dedication from the viewer and although I enjoyed certain segments, it feels bloated and is difficult to recommend to many.
