‘Digger’ Review: As a Texas Oil Tycoon, Tom Cruise Goes Over the Top in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Bombastically Self-Important Satire

Alejandro G. Iñárritu's 'Digger' is a dark comedy satire featuring Tom Cruise as a Texas oil tycoon facing a self-made global catastrophe. Produced by Warner Bros., the film stars Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons. Critics describe the work as an audacious, surreal disaster movie, though opinions vary wildly. Some view it as an urgent, risky swing, while others dismiss it as a smug, powerless, and self-adulating misfire lacking the slyness of 'Dr. Strangelove'.
