Reactivating this old topic as I come home from a double feature of PRIMETIME and DIGGER. Primetime is pretty much what you can expet from the trailers, it’s fine but nothing special. But Digger… well, it’s complicated.
Digger is getting very mixed reviews and seems to be flopping quite hard at the box office. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I have to keep it vague, because there’s some big twist quite early on that I wouldn’t want to spoil.
You could even say the film is not at all the story the trailers advertise. And it’s also rexactly what the trailer tells you. I get why some people won’t like it. I also wonder if some people don’t like it because they don’t get it, or because it’s hitting a little too close to home?
Is it absurd and over the top? Absolutely. But it’s also very, very true. The absurdity of it all is kind of the point. Does that make any sense? I think I could best describe the film as a cathartic rant not unlike Dr. Stranglove.
One thing is for sure, you get great preformances by Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed and John Goodman. And Inarritu is taking a big swing here. Whether that’s a hit or a miss for you, there’s only one way to find out.
