Che (Part One)

The first film of 2009 wasn't such a turkey as last year's; it had a rather toned-down atmosphere.

I read somewhere that it had no dramatic tension, which is true, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Although not necessarily good either. It was a strange film, and I'm still not entirely sure what I thought of it. I suppose its elements of dullness could be seen as a positive thing, showing the dreariness of revolution, showing how dull and drawn out and boring it must've been, rather that the exciting, invigorating thing we tend to assume revolution is. Similarly, Benicio del Toro is so good you forget he's acting.
