Digger & Verity: Big Swings and Dead Air

This week on After the Frame, we’ve got two movies operating at very different levels of ambition, but both giving us plenty to talk about.
We start with Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s loud, strange, politically charged satire led by Tom Cruise in one of his most interesting performances in years. The movie is visually impressive, stacked with talent, and occasionally lands on genuinely sharp ideas about power, art, crisis, and ego. But it can also be blunt, self-satisfied, and much less funny than it thinks it is. The ambition and performances were enough to outweigh the mess for us.
Then we move to Verity, a movie that should have been pulpy, sexy, and completely ridiculous in the best possible way. Instead, it somehow drains the energy out of Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, and even Anne Hathaway. We get into the lifeless performances, weak script, nonexistent tension, and how a movie with this much built-in melodrama ended up feeling so strangely empty.
One movie swings hard enough to survive its flaws. The other barely swings at all.
