This movie is a bit of a damp squid, or lame duck, (depending on your geographical location). This is primarily because of the acting. At first I though the script was at fault, and although some exchanges are lengthy, and let me be candid, this movie relies heavily on dialogue, but no, it's really the acting which lets it down... and the screenplay to some extent. It's not to say the script is bad. Its good overall, but needs tightening up in a few place, its just not tight enough for a project so heavily reliant on it
The acting on the other hand is an entirely different matter. Emil Hirsch in particular is miscast. He doesn't carry off the hillbilly redneck well enough, its forced and unnatural. Liana Liberator who plays his girlfriend sidekick is worse. They are a bargain bucket version of Oliver Stones 'Natural Born Killers' pairing played by Wood Harrelson and Juliet Lewis and there is no glossing over the shortcomings they have. Even Thomas Jane's character seems contrived and overplayed, which leads me to believe that K Asher Levin who directs this one may be at fault.
The story starts of well enough but sadly goes steadily down hill after the opening act and it becomes a bit of a slug fest after that.
I'm not going to go into great detail because it's not really worth it.
I'll give it 4 because its not terrible, but i did have a hard time making it to the end, which is always a big sign of a movies shortcomings.
Can't recommend it in all honesty.

Well, this isn't great. DIG is a home invasion thriller in which an ageing Thomas Jane plays a widowed father with a volatile relationship with his own teenage daughter. One day, they're at their rural farmhouse when a sadistic couple of criminals show up, looking to retrieve something buried on the site. And that's the plot. Immediately the thought is, can they sustain the suspense till the credits roll, and the answer to that is...definitely not. In fact, at least half of this film seems to be heavily padded, with repetitive dialogue and too many scenes of characters getting beaten up all the time. Hirsch's villain overacts, and the climax, when it eventually comes, isn't worth the wait.
For a B grade low budget film, it's not bad, I've seen a lot worse. The directing and cinematography was decent, and surprisingly for a B film, the score and soundtrack worked well, especially the finger-snapping music. Casting and performances were convincing, especially the Jane father-daughter duo as father and daughter, but I feel Liana Liberato needed better cast direction. The story was a good concept for the genre, but the screenplay by the newb writers, the Ablakhads, in their first ever writing credit, certainly needed some fine tuning. Even in the normally comfortable 90 min runtime and decent pacing, the film felt much longer from the lack of any real narrative. The entire first act wasn't fitting (or really needed) with the rest of the story, and there were many repetitive plot and technical issues. The dialogue was very cheesy and not enough was happening to hold the viewers attention. This film would've worked better as a short film, and/or most of the dialogue reworked with more actual drama instead of fluff, as well as more narrative in the story itself. More action and less words would've worked great on this film. But as their first writing credit, the Ablakhads did good, rookie mistakes and all. It's a generous 6/10 from me for this one-time watchable "if there's nothing else to watch" film.
The good: this story is quite simple, but the excecution is really terrific, with lots of good dialogues, a vicious bad guy, great plot turns and a wicked final.
I dont understand the low rating, probably caused by the fact that this movie falls in between genres, which most people probably cant appreciate much. I can though!.
"DIG" is probably better suited for an arthouse movie audience, but I guess that the trailer attracted a popcorn loving action audience instead...which explains the many disappointing reviews.
This is more of a DRAMA than an action movie, although there are a few hardhitting violent scenes to be seen, but most of this story is about sadistic psychological MINDGAMES and what fighting for survival does to a RELATIONSHIP between a father and a handicapped daughter.
I constantly sat on the edge of my chair towards the end of this bleak and suspenseful drama.
Solid story. Solid acting. Solid suspense. Simply a really solid, hardhitting, bleak dramatic movie. Bravo!
The story: Emile Hirsch and his girlfriend (2 vicious criminals) kidnap a father and his daughter, who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Emile Hirsch forces them to start digging for him. But what is the secret that is burried deep beneath the ground?

I have always enjoyed Thomas Jane I find he brings an underlying humour to his work that I like. I also don't mind Emile Hirsch.
But But But...
Oh boy does this movie seriously suck. The characters are fundamentally awful, one dimensional and dare I say it boring. The daughter, played by (who cares) literally removes pieces of your soul each time she is on screen (which is a lot).
Its mega predictable and offers nothing of interest to anything more intelligent than single cell amoebas.
I only gave it two stars because it has Thomas Jane in it.
Better to DIG yourself a hole, climb in and slowly pull the dirt over your face :)

Lo sapevi?
- BlooperAt the beginning, the father and daughter are not allowed to dig the patio at night as the gangster says it is outside permitted time and the neighbors will complain and cops will come. But towards the end of the film they are seen digging at night using spotlights.
