With "Digger," Iñárritu Hands Tom Cruise His Most Compelling Picture in Fifteen Years

Alejandro González Iñárritu has directed Tom Cruise in "Digger," and Vanity Fair considers it the most engaging film of Cruise's past decade and a half. For a star whose name has sold tickets on every marquee in the country, that stands out. The film pairs one of the most celebrated directors working today with one of cinema's most durable leading men, and the critics are taking it seriously. It will be worth talking about at dinner this season.
