The Underrated Charms of Ground Control

Here's an article about the movie Ground Control (yeah I never thought I'd see that either-most reviewers mention Dead Poets Society) entitled The Underrated Charms of Ground Control.

Here's an excerpt about RSL:

Robert Sean Leonard plays Harris’s opposite number, a young, cocky antagonist named Cruise who thinks he knows better than the washout. The name kind of fits, because he’s almost like if Tom Cruise had become a controller instead of a pilot in Top Gun.

As anyone who saw Leonard as Dr. James Wilson in House knows, he can play a bit of a jerk when he has to-and here he leans into it perfectly. He’s got that little extra amount of smarm that makes you want to punch him on more than one occasion
