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.

2.5/4

Feels distant and rarely compelling. Easy to revere the theme. Easier to dislike the rest.

3/5

Iñárritu takes big swings, and here he dares to evoke iconic works such as Citizen Kane and Dr. Strangelove. But Digger, bedazzled with the production design and theatrical effects a big budget can buy, can’t match those films’ originality or bite.

4/5

"Digger" is a moving yet intellectual piece of art that is masterfully rendered. Iñárritu and company have crafted a powerful and (sadly) timely film, one that feels prescient even if it also feels like it’s already too late in its dire warnings.

4/4

A virtuosic piece of Brechtian theatre that feels in constant conversation with itself; fully aware of its own moralism and questioning its own relevance as it seeks truth in a world where tragedy has become farce.
