"Digger" First Reactions Prove Divisive
- First reactions to the Tom Cruise-led and Alejandro González Iñárritu-directed satire Digger emerged on Tuesday, revealing a divisive critical response ahead of the film's October 2 release.
- Marking a return to adult-oriented drama after over a decade in action films, Cruise stars as a wealthy tycoon battling an environmental catastrophe in this visually inventive narrative.
- While reviewers like IndieWire's Jim Hemphill praised Cruise's performance as his best since Magnolia, others called it a "mess," citing an imbalanced narrative favoring zany theatrics over nuance.
- Projected domestic opening weekend numbers have been revised downward from $20 million to $19 million, according to Puck's Matt Belloni, following the initial press screenings.
- The film hits theaters on October 2, serving as a test of Cruise's star power as audiences weigh the environmental satire's bold choices.
