‘Digger’ Review: As a Texas Oil Tycoon, Tom Cruise Goes Over the Top in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Bombastically Self-Important Satire

"Digger" isn’t funny. It’s nervy, successful your face, audacious, adventurous, and bizarro successful a free-swinging, out-of-the-box way. And it feels similar a comedy, since it’s fueled by the relentless overacting of a atrocious Coen brothers movie. But "Dr. Strangelove," built astir the genius of Peter Sellers, was brilliantly funny. "Digger" borrows the doomsday architecture of "Strangelove" but leaves retired the slyness, replacing it with a lavishly in-your-face spectacle of browbeating.
