I think he is one of those talented directors with balls, because he got involved in this dificult project which is "Che Guevara" without using any of those famous and empties acotors from Hollywood... even making the movie in Los Angeles and being Robert evan's son...that say a lot to me!.
He took a risk, and just for doing that here in Los Angeles, he deserves my respect and recognition.
I believe he is going to be one of those greats directors in a few years. And I also believe that "Che Gevara" is going to be a great movie in Europe and South America: just in case of sabotage...

Funny, I thought that his project was ignored by Hollywood because his last 3 films were major bombs - pretentious indies that nobody liked at all, and barely got distributors.

This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. Talent is not hereditary, Evans lacks vision, direction and skill. Che's live is well documented and the director ignores everything written about him and by him. If it's not a Biopic then don't try to adhere to cronological events and real people!
It will be forgotten if not already, I just can't believe I spent money renting it.
Go spend your Daddy's money doing something else...

Saying it's the worse film you ever saw I think is a bit much. I've seen much worse. "Batman & Robin" anyone?

To be honest though, I don't think it was a great film, simply because the way the story was told was very sporadic, and you don't really understand what is fully going on, as well as the gun battles scenes are very un-suspenseful.

I do give him respect for using unknown, or I should say, not using big name actors. That, and the cinematography is the best thing going for it.

Read me review, which should be up on IMDB soon.

I have to agree that this film is bad! I am a fan of Eduardo Noriega however, I don't think he should have played the role of Che. The scenes when he is having Asthma attacks are pathetic and look so fake you can totally tell it is dubbed.
