[Satire] ‘Entirely Petty’: Guillermo Del Toro Calls Out Digger Review for Odd Movie Theater Comment
The film opened to $8 million and a C CinemaScore, putting Warner Bros. on track for a loss of up to $150 million, analysts said.
- Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu released Digger, a climate-satire starring Tom Cruise as a brash oil tycoon in a "big, showy apocalypse comedy that matches and even one-ups the performer's outsize energy."
- At 64, Cruise portrays the portly Digger Rockwell using prosthetics, a performance critics describe as "brave" in departing from his typical action-hero roles.
- Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki captures the narrative alongside an ensemble including John Goodman and Riz Ahmed, while sound editors Mike Horton and Lloyd Dudley ensure dialogue remains clear throughout.
- The narrative features an astonishing showpiece updating the "greed is good" speech for modern audiences, as Iñárritu and co-writers deliver farcical dialogue critics suggest may spark Oscar-worthiness debates.
- Comparisons to Dr. Strangelove and Don't Look Up exemplify the film's caricature of power, positioning it as a "moving love letter to the endurance and relevance of art.
