Reports indicate that Digger recently held its premiere in London ahead of its release next month. Artist and author Will-iam Smith shared, “This movie is fucking INSANE.

Film critic Andre Saint-Albin wrote, “#DiggerMovie is a once-in-a-decade blast of chaos you have to experience on the big screen. Stunning, fearless, & genuinely staggering. This is the kind of movie that rewards a second viewing. Stay away from spoilers, hit the theater, & let it unfold. You truly won’t see it coming. Wild, relentless, and loaded with standout work across the board. Tom Cruise takes his most daring swing yet & it’s technically astonishing.” See the full review below.
Tomatometer-approved critic Courtney Howard noted, “#DiggerMovie RIPS! Iñárritu creates powder keg cinema, exploding in blistering heat & dazzling fireworks. A masterfully compelling, electric & audaciously assured satirical farce. Tom Cruise gives a brilliant, boldly invigorated, tour de force performance. Riz Ahmed, a standout!”
“#DiggerMovie is an audacious vision executed on a grand scale, but the pertinent sociopolitical satire is far from a home run. It wins most with its stellar ensemble cast, who are 100% committed, and its incredible set and sound design—a lavish, sometimes stodgy, eccentric curio,” stated journalist Simon Thompson.
Jeff Ewing added, “#DiggerMovie is an ambitious, often surreal tour de force. The script is often funny but there’s a timely, rare undercurrent of anger in its satire. Tom Cruise is excellent and complex, and it will continually surprise you. It doesn’t always land, but when it hits, it’s brilliant.”
Another journalist, Jorgie, advised, “DON’T WATCH the trailers for #DIGGERMOVIE. Watch it as unspoiled as you can. The film features beautiful cinematography, and satire that feels too close to home. Alejandro G. Iñárritu is a master of building tension. Digger is a rollercoaster of a film that I’m glad I got on.”
Critic @ChessyBinks remarked, “#DiggerMovie: an audacious swing: grotesque, deliberately tacky, almost daring audiences to reject it. But beneath all that is a surprisingly nuanced convo about art, catharsis, complicity, complacency, and the futility of watching doom inch toward us like a slow-moving iceberg.”
Film enthusiast Sheldon wrote, “Tom Cruise delivers a masterclass in acting in ‘Digger,’ his best performance since ‘Magnolia.’ It’s undoubtedly a work of art and a powerful warning about global warming.”
What is the film about?
The story follows the most powerful man in the world as he races to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he unleashed destroys everything. The Tom Cruise-led Digger will premiere on October 2.
