Alejandro absolutely cooked with this one. Tom Cruise was just freakin awesome, but honestly, the whole cast brought elite tier performances across the board, nobody missed. Loved the sheer depth and layers packed into this. Pure cinema 9/10.

This really worked for me and I’m glad I didn’t know what was coming as it unfolded. I think it earns its ending and shows how powerful and effective art can by while simultaneously being powerless.

“Gentlemen, we find ourselves in one dildo of a pickle.” Well this was completely different to what I was expecting. I was super excited for this movie as the trailers alone looked great, and come on, a whole movie about an old, retired Les Grossman, are you kidding me ? That’s freaking awesome man. Anyway, as weird and strange as this movie was to me, I actually found it quite enjoyable. Look, I know it’s not perfect, but it’s quite a fun…

Digger is ambitious, bizarre, and exhausting. Iñárritu uses satire, environmentalism, capitalism, and existentialism to try to say something profound. The message is there, buried under the absurdity. Tom Cruise delivers possibly his best performance, and the filmmaking is undeniably impressive, but with a full count and bases loaded, Digger swung and missed.

Inarittu hasn't made anything good in a decade. And this is probably his worst film. Apart from Tom Cruise everything in this film seemed designed to annoy me. Like a Terry Gilliam movie. Not my type of thing at all.

A very good DIRECT message with both storylines and the twists that connects and makes sense. I have not laughed so hard in this year in any movie. Was that a satire? Or was that just pure comedy? Its just a TRAGICOMEDY. The tragic comedy of our past, present and inevitable fucked up near future. Performances top tier. What i did not understood the “daughter” topic. What was it all about and what it meant in general in regard to the other…
