Critics Consensus

A stylized satire whose audacious design proves too mannered for some of the laughs to smoothly land, Digger is a bold swing of the shovel by Tom Cruise and Alejandro González Iñárritu that misses as often as it strikes gold.

Audience Says

As meta as Tom Cruise is magnetic, Digger ambitiously digs into satire with mixed returns -- a vibrant masterpiece for some and turning up coal for others.

Even with all the imagery of rising coastlines and submerged streets, Iñárritu knows where he resides. He can’t help but remind us that it’s on the little patch of moral high ground reserved for those who Get It.

Iñárritu portrays the average person as a seal, ready to bark and clap at anything that so much as alludes to reality. His film has ill will spewing from every pore, a complete loathing for humanity.

The ultimate irony is that Digger ends up resembling too closely what it attempts to question: a work convinced that its thematic importance justifies any excess. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

Digger is anstrong film by Alejandro Iñárritu, with Tom Cruise bringing a career best performance. Lofty themes and layered characters come together for a story that may not resonate with every crowd, yet it needed to be told nonetheless.

Not at all what I expected. Trailer does it no justice. Cast did an amazing job, writers where on fire when they put this to paper! Love the multiple facets of the stories told.

Great Movie. I can see why the powers that be want it to die on the vine because it touches on many sensitive issues that are quite timely. A very well done and fun picture. I saw it in Vista Vision. Two Thumbs Up with a Snap and a Twist.

This movie was incredibly layered and truly required careful thought and undistracted attention. It is recommended that you see this movie without any prior research or plot discovery. Absolutely one of the most unique and powerful movies I have seen in some time.

The critical consensus really whiffed on this one: it is excellent. Try to know as little as possible before you go in, but know that you can expect one of the most thought-provoking, and entertaining, movies of the year. A must-see
