What kind of watch this is
Alejandro G. Iñárritu directs a 129-minute comedy-drama about the most powerful man in the world. He is racing to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he caused ends it all. The title is just "Digger," which feels like an understatement for a global catastrophe. Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, and John Goodman carry the weight of this frantic mission.
What the critics said
Critics agreed the film is polarizing, a consensus that feels less like a review and more like a group hug. Rotten Tomatoes holds 53% of 322 reviews, averaging 6.1 out of 10. Metacritic, more cautious, sits at 46 out of 100 based on 60 critics. The RT consensus calls it a "bold swing of the shovel" that misses as often as it strikes. Not everyone saw the gold. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called it a "lumbering white elephant," a phrase that does heavy lifting. Jim Hemphill of IndieWire countered it is the best movie of the year, a gap in opinion that defines the film.
How it did with audiences
Digger cost $125 million to make. It took in $35.9 million worldwide, a number that reads like a cautionary tale in any other industry. Variety calculated the break-even point at $350 million, while Warner Bros. cited $300 million. The gap is too wide for comfort. TMDB users rate it 7.5 out of 10.
