The filmmaking is grand scale and the movie has the added advantage of Edgar Ramirez in the lead role, who is better looking than Bolivar and as magnetic as Bolivar must have been. [...] some of the soldiers serving under Bolivar are introduced with a certain extra emphasis, in the way that Lafayette or Alexander Hamilton might be introduced in a movie about George Washington. At other times, there’s the impression of information being conveyed in shorthand — shorthand that will go over the heads of most of an English-speaking audience. Gradually, Bolivar’s dissatisfaction and gnawing sense of injustice pushes him in the direction of action, and once he gets started, he doesn’t stop.
