Alright, so Stephen Soderbergh’s new film Che is getting rave reviews from well, everywhere. Benicio Del Toro plays the iconic rebel leader, and as the trailer shows, is something of a badass. The movie comes out in select theaters a week, which is why I find it strange that we’re just now seeing the first trailer for it. Damn independent movies.

From the rave reviews buried inside the trailer, I was worried that we might have another Oscar contender on our hands, but then when I went over to its IMDB page (where it’s called Guerilla), I saw that based on 900 votes it’s only at a 6.9. What the hell movie did A.O. Scott see then? This could amount to an Oscar nom for Del Toro, but I think it’s unlikely it’ll make a run for Best Picture, meaning our precious Dark Knight is safe. But hey, what do I know? Remember when Crash won? God.
