Tom Cruise's 'Digger' Divides Critics with Iñárritu's Daring Direction

Tom Cruise's new film "Digger," directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, has received the most polarizing response of any Cruise movie, splitting critics due to its daring, unconventional approach. The film's surprises were kept secret, and audiences are encouraged to see it to form their own opinion. The film, a farce about a megalomaniacal tycoon causing a global catastrophe, is not a musical as rumored. Cruise, 64, delivers an all-in performance likely earning his fourth Oscar nomination, supported by strong turns from John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Iñárritu, who won Best Director for "Birdman" and "The Revenant," may not win again, but "Digger" has a chance in technical categories. The film releases on October 2.
