Tom Cruise Bloviates His Way Through the Aggressively Unfunny Digger
Alejandro G. Iñárritu's latest film has a million moving parks and nothing to say
Tom Cruise stars in Digger, a film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, which is described as a "pure, empty-headed trickery" with "nothing to say." The movie, which is "thematically clumsy," revolves around Cruise's character, Digger Rockwell, a Texas oil tycoon who is obsessed with keeping his cat alive despite its animatronic nature.
The film is "pure, empty-headed trickery" that "comes off as liberalism's worst enemy." Cruise's performance is described as "bloviating," and his character is "swaggers, bellows and bloviates" in his speech. The movie's environmental message is criticized for being overly simplistic and scolding. The play-within-a-movie conceit is seen as an attempt to showcase elaborate sets, but ultimately, it does not add much to the film.
Digger's cinematography is praised by its director, Emmanuel Lubezki, who is known for his work on "Birdman."
