Digger Twitter Review

A Twitter user wrote, "Digger: Twists after twists constantly changing the story, the plot fictionises the characters at certain moments, still the overall humor & gritty-ness keeps you hooked. Tom Cruise is a masterclass on how an Actor should keep learning & adapting at every stage of life."

Another user commented, "Digger: An ECCENTRIC MESS or A FLAWED MASTERPIECE There is a hook in the film. A wild swing that will precisely invest you more into the story or completely disconnect you! This creative choice is generating the polarising reactions Tom Cruise acts his socks off!"

A third user wrote, "Digger is worse than Bardo. It has an important message and uses satire and humor to tell its story, but it’s ultimately too scattered to make its points land. Tom Cruise and John Goodman do their absolute best to keep things afloat (sic)."
