The result is a very complex film that will have very divisive viewpoints from its audience. Digger may not be fully cohesive, but it still makes a powerful commentary about the world we live in, where the rich and the powerful often sideline pertinent issues about the environment, which in fact need urgent attention. With Digger, filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu holds up a mirror to the world to make everyone sit up and take notes about the environment around us. However, the message is delivered through a very convoluted story."<br>&nbsp;</p>

Following the release of Digger, Tom Cruise has taken to social media to express his gratitude to the film's team. The post comes after Alejandro G. Iñárritu's film received mixed responses.
