©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett C “Digger,” starring Tom Cruise as a Texas oil tycoon who unleashes forces even more powerful than himself, is a movie that thinks it’s delivering something bigger than a mere message; it thinks it’s bringing us the word. Cruise, under pounds of jowly make-up and thinning disheveled white hair, plays Digger Rockwell, an ancient Southern fossil-fuel titan who doesn’t just lord it over his company. He’s a man who rules the oil industry, and therefore rules America and maybe the world.
