Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Digger” features a compelling performance from Tom Cruise, but the film itself is proving divisive. The review suggests the movie functions as a climate morality tale, criticizing both the characters within the narrative and the audience consuming it. It posits that the film replicates the “self-satisfied ritual” that has contributed to the current global crisis. The film’s approach of highlighting and satirizing impending doom is questioned, with the author implying that mere acknowledgement isn’t sufficient for change. The critique centers on whether high-minded entertainment can be genuinely impactful, or if it merely provides a comfortable platform for self-congratulation while avoiding real action. Ultimately, the review implies the film's intentions are admirable but potentially insufficient.
