Digger (2026), the Alejandro G. Iñárritu-directed satirical black comedy starring Tom Cruise as an oil tycoon triggering environmental catastrophe, opened in wide release on October 2 after a London premiere in late September. Early social-media reactions proved sharply divided, prompting immediate downward revisions in score forecasts, and the Tomatometer has since stabilized in the low-50s percent range across more than 220 critic reviews. The film earns praise for its audacious VistaVision visuals, Cruise’s committed lead turn, and meta ambition yet draws criticism for mannered execution, uneven satire, and self-conscious style that echoes past high-profile misfires. Metacritic sits at 45, underscoring the mixed-to-negative consensus, while the marketing campaign has leaned into the divisiveness. With the bulk of reviews already in, further movement depends on any late additions and how audience metrics evolve post-release.
