Tom Cruise's 'Digger' splits critics from "a mess" to "movie of the year"

Tom Cruise's new film "Digger," directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, has sharply divided critics after early screenings, with reactions ranging from "a mess" to "movie of the year." The surreal film stars Cruise as an oil magnate who tries to save the world after his company's drilling causes a natural disaster. Negative reviews cite baffling plot choices and an unpleasant tone, though many praise Cruise and co-star Riz Ahmed's performances. Positive critics call it visually inventive and conceptually audacious, with one hailing it as Cruise's best work since "Magnolia." The film releases in cinemas on October 2.
