What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
I was confused, mystified, angered, spellbound, and at times awed with the artistry that went into creating this worldwide one-room puzzle. The art direction is through the roof. Go to Full Review

See more thierry 3 hrs ago Fantastic acting you’re left guessing and wondering what is going on See more Christopher 3 hrs ago Different, but enjoyable. See more Duleep A 4 hrs ago Great movie. Refreshing to see a unique movie where everyone look a risk. The play within a play was a bit much, but was nice to see the impact of climate change in a more realistic way than a dystopian future we seem in Mad Max type movies.
