At first, when I saw this movie in the video library, I thought it had something to do with racing or a road trip and go it home. I was in for a pleasant surprise. Not only was it not a racing movie, but it was also not in English as I had expected. But anyways, I decided to watch it for about 5 minutes and then decide. Boy did I decide to do that! While watching the movie, I researched about it on wikipedia and found that it was a movie based on the early life of Ernesto "Che" Guevera, the Argentinian-born, Cuban revolutionary leader. So I decided to just watch it for the non-political content.

The acting by the two principal actors (and also the others), is AMAZING! Not only is the movie amazing (so say the least), but the special features are excellent also. Also included in the spl fea is an interview with the original Alberto Granada, the companion of Ernesto in this movie. Believe it or not, Robert Redford was the exectuive producer for this movie.

A "MUST-WATCH" movie of all time! Doesn't matter if you like/don't like road trip movies. But donot expect too much political views in this movie. There is just a hint of the reasons why Che turned a revolutionary from a life destined to be a medical doctor. But not too much. In the first half, it is more like a comedy movie and then more like a "coming-of-age" movie.
