Actor Benicio Del Toro And Director Steven Soderbergh are facing a rough ride with their new movie, Guerrilla, insisting that the film was meant "P**S Off"Audiences."The Forthcoming Film, Which Depicts The Rise And Fall Of Argentine Revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, Came Under Fire In May At The Cannes Film Festival For Its Four-Hour Run Time And Controversial Storyline.But Soderbergh Has Defended The $60 Million (£32.4Million) Project After A Series Of Scathing Attacks From Film Critics. And He Insists Its Budget Will Be Recouped By Spanish-Speaking Audiences, With The Length Of The Film Trimmed For Its U.S. Debut. He Tells The New York Daily News, "If You Make A Movie Like This And Nobody's P**Sed Off, You're Not Doing Your Job. Che's A Very Polarising Figure.Everybody's Got Their Own Idea About Him And About What A Biographical Film Ought To Be. The More People Arguing About It The Better."Del Toro Adds: "As My Grandmother Used To Say, 'No One Is Better Than What He Can Do' - He Is Who He Is."
