One of the most iconic people and recognized faces, a lot thanks to one particular photo that has become a figure head for teens all over the world to symbolise their own revolution, is being brought back to life through the amazing acting skills of Benicio Del Toro. Director Steven Soderbergh has done a brilliant job in creating a movie with a quite documentary feel to it. Although there’s quite a bit of shooting, this should not be miss-taken for your average action or war movie; the tempo is slower and the action is shot more from afar to create a sense of objectivity.

This first of two parts focuses on the relationship between Che and Castro, and their fight towards the fight with Batista.  If your interested to learn more about the story and emergence of Che and Castor as political leaders – or just want to see a great movie – this is a must watch. Highly recommended.
