In 1967 Guevara resurfaces in Bolivia to organize a modest group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits in preparation for the Latin American Revolution. But while the Bolivian campaign would ultimately fail, the tenacity, sacrifice, and idealism displayed by Guevara during this period would make him a symbol of heroism to followers around the world.
Benicio Del Toro keeps up the mesmerising performance that he started in part one. It is a pity that Guevara's African campaigns go unmentioned as much of what happened in the intervening years had bearing on the outcome of this campaign. Partly because one knows how this will end and partly due to the non-changing surroundings, this film lacks the pace and energy of its predecessor. However, as a concluding glimpse at this iconic figure it is well worth the watch. Though Parts 1 and 2 were screened together at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, they were set to be released separately.
