Guillermo Del Toro Defends 'Digger' Amidst Criticism

Guillermo Del Toro has expressed strong support for Tom Cruise's new film, 'Digger,' which premiered recently to varied reactions. The acclaimed director took to social media to counter negative critiques, asserting that the movie delivers on scale, ambition, and theatrical reach. Del Toro described 'Digger' as a daring, bold, and cinematically complex film that offers a distinct theatrical experience.

Del Toro's defense comes as 'Digger' sits at a 51% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. He drew parallels between the film's critical reception and that of other films like 'The King of Comedy' and 'The Big Lebowski,' which were initially met with criticism but later gained appreciation. In 'Digger,' Tom Cruise plays the titular character, an oil tycoon responsible for a catastrophe, who then races to fix it and position himself as a savior.
