What people are saying
Updated nightlyReactions are split on this frantic Iñárritu thriller, which follows Tom Cruise's Digger Rockwell trying to save the world from his own disaster. The central performance from Cruise is divisive, with many finding his hyper-intense turn as the powerful protagonist grating, though a decent chunk of viewers still enjoyed his signature energy. The supporting cast, particularly John Goodman's President and Riz Ahmed's Nirav Ganesh, are widely praised as highlights. The film's visuals are strong, but the punishingly bad pacing and a story that feels both convoluted and thin leave a lot of people exhausted by the end. It's a movie with high-caliber pieces that, for many, never quite coheres into a satisfying whole.
