REVIEW: Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh delivers this ambitious and sprawling biopic of one of the 20th century’s most influential political figures. In this the first 126-minute film, The Argentine, we meet Ernesto “Che” Guevara, a young Argentinean doctor who teams up with Fidel Castro on a dangerous mission: to overthrow the corrupt Cuban dictatorship run by Fulgenico Batista. Che’s commitment to the cause impresses everyone around him and soon he is one of the leaders of this burgeoning guerrilla movement. Against all odds, Castro, Che and their undermanned forces charge forward, conquering Batista’s forces on their way to an unexpected showdown with the man himself.
The first part of a two-part epic, The Argentine, is an inspiring tale of a man whose fierce determination and unflinching spirit turned him into a hero to disadvantaged people throughout the world.
