Tom Cruise takes a career risk by portraying an oil tycoon in “Digger”, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest satire, presented this week at the Zurich Film Festival.
In the film, Cruise plays a billionaire whose company is responsible for a global ecological disaster. The feature divides critics, with some praising the boldness of the project, while others remain more reserved.
Despite these mixed reviews, “Digger” could still be a contender for an Oscar nomination, according to festival observers.
