What is Tom Cruise's new movie? It is Digger, and it is nothing like Mission: Impossible. Warner Bros. opened it in US theaters on Friday, October 2, and it is still playing now.
Alejandro G. Inarritu, the director of Birdman and The Revenant, made it as a satirical black comedy. Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, an aging oil magnate whose drilling sets off an ecological disaster, and he produced the film too.
The supporting cast is stacked: Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Huller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons.
Expect a split room. Critics have been sharply divided on it, which is usually a sign a big filmmaker took a real swing. Go in knowing as little as you can.
Is Digger streaming? Not yet. No digital or streaming release date has been announced, so for now it is a theater trip.
What is Tom Cruise doing next? The next film on his calendar is an untitled Days of Thunder sequel with Anne Hathaway, dated for June 2, 2028.
Save Digger to your watchlist in Plot so it is waiting for you when it reaches home.
