Ever since I watched the trailer for Digger, i decided there was something completely unappealing about it. Whether it was the forced wackiness of Tom Cruise prancing around as an ugly oil baron, or the washed out colour palette that couldn’t decide whether it should be a colour or a black & white movie, there was nothing at all that grabbed me.
A month or so later, after what felt like endless amounts of film posters and news articles, it looks like the film is going to struggle to make back it’s budget of £250,000,000.
How a movie and marketing budget can bloat so much is beyond me, but now that the film is a confirmed flop, can the press please stop reporting on it? Every headline comes with a screenshot of Tom Cruise pulling an ugly oil baron face, and it’s just not a very pleasant sight at all.
