r/TomCruise

NO SPOILER TALK PLEASE

This film will divide a lot of people; they will either love it or hate it. Cruise is at his peak here, playing Digger Rockwell, a persuasive, larger-than-life oil tycoon whose drilling in Greenland breaks off a massive iceberg that threatens all of Europe and its his job to save humanity from his negligence.

The cinematography is brilliant, and the runtime is just over two hours. The supporting cast is great, featuring an amusingly bizarre half-dead cat. Critics have slammed it on Rotten Tomatoes with a 50% score, but the audience rating sits higher at 72%.

THE TWIST will send a lot of people to the chiropractor. It’s a risky film that feels like a Wes Anderson movie at times. Once the film finished, I was totally on board with it and liked where it went. It reminded me of the risks Cruise took with Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut.

Have you watched Digger? I recommend watching it purely to see which side of the fence you land on!
