Tom Cruise Officially Hits the End of an Era With Divisive New Movie
A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

Digger is a big swing for Tom Cruise. A satirical comedy from auteur director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman), it's in a different galaxy from the audience-friendly action spectacles Cruise has specialized in for the last two decades. Now, with the film set to hit theaters this Friday, and the review embargo dropping, we finally know what the critics think of the film.
Digger currently holds a 50% Rotten rating at Rotten Tomatoes, with 60 reviews tallied, meaning it's perfectly split down the middle between critics who dig it, and critics who want it buried in a shallow grave. That's the lowest score ever for an Iñárritu film, and also Cruise's worst score since 2017's disastrous would-be franchise-starter The Mummy. It ends an almost decade-long streak of critical hits for Cruise, including American Made, Top Gun: Maverick, and the final three Mission: Impossible movies.
