Every Tom Cruise Movie, Part 2: The Outsiders (1983)

I know that there are people who consider this a classic. I thought it was actively bad. The photography was good, and Matt Dillon was good, and I hated everything else.

Tom Cruise is barely even in it! He plays basically the same role as he did in Taps – the overly excited, violent member of the “good” gang.

Attention, early 1980s casting directors: more Tom Cruise, please.

Next up, 1983’s “Losin’ it.” Looks terrible!
