November 26, 1956; led by Fidel Castro , a band of 80 rebels sails to Cuba. Among these young rebels is Argentine physician, Marxist, soldier, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Nation-less, strapped for resources and fueled only by determination, the group engages in swift, bloody battle to free the Cuban people from the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che and his soldiers wrestle the nation's resources and affection from Batista's grasp. Though considered a hero by some, Che becomes a hugely controversial figure. At the height of his fame and power, he disappears. Entering South America incognito, Che recruits another band of guerilla fighters in the harsh Bolivian jungles. They embark upon a mission to spark revolution throughout Latin America. (IFC Films)

'Che' is an amazing journey, and is Soderbergh's masterpiece!
Mariano A. gave it a10:
Outstanding performance by Benicio del Toro (Cannes winner for this one). Great movie, tells you about the Che Guevara´s revolutionary life, the guerrilla fights and the Cuban revolution. I think you have to watch the film first and then comment something about it, ussually the conservators talks crap about any attempt to show the real deal about Che Guevara (objective way, like Soderbergh did ). And this attempt is ambitious and worthy.
M C gave it a10:
Fantastic and inspiring. Captures the idiolistic feelings and hopes of a reveloution in the first part and in the second it tears them apart.
CE P gave it a10:
Great film!

FYI, the TV Guide review you put up is actually for a 1969 movie called "Che!" starring Jack Palance. Thought you might want to fix that.
Bender A. gave it a10:
The movie tells you about the life of Che Guevara, the guerrilla warrior who made the revolution in Cuba. But this time is the Che´s point of view (it´s based on a book wrote by himself). So you won´t see the typical american movie against Cuba, you´ll see one latin american movie (it´s in spanish) trying to tell Guevara´s revolutionary life in 4 hours (starts when he know Fidel Castro and finish when he dies excecuted). The work of Benicio Del Toro is great, he´s just like che Guevara in person, even with the same accent and look (the best choice for the character). He won the best actor award in Cannes for this performance. Steven Soderbergh made an ambitious film, and he got it right. A little long, but in the rest of the world is splitted in 2 parts. In USA is a 4 hours movie with limited distribution (unfortunally, maybe for the language or the explicit -revolutionary- content of the movie)
