Che: Part Two 2008
I found this part to be a bit more effective than the first. Stripped of the flash forwards and victories of the first part, the length and mundanity of the small band of revolutionaries forces us to live in their resilience, but also in the bleak fact that this is a doomed mission.

Hooptober6.0 1/33
So begins Hooptober, just after midnight on the 15th of September.
Half a star higher than it deserves for the grenades. Honestly, this isn't even "so bad it's good." It's just bad. I'd watch a marathon of thankskilling before watching this again.
Happy hooptober, it can only go up from here!
