It is unnecessary to place a hatnote on this article pointing to Control (disambiguation). The title "Control (2007 film)" is so specifically disambiguated that there is little chance of a reader having arrived at the article looking for some other meaning of the word "control". Per Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Usage guidelines:
There is no need to add disambiguation links to a page whose name already clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term. For example, Solaris (1972 film) is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of "Solaris". It is very unlikely that someone arriving there from within Wikipedia would have been looking for any other "Solaris", so it is unnecessary to add a link pointing to the Solaris disambiguation page. However, it would be perfectly appropriate to add a link to Solaris (novel) (but not, say, Solaris (operating system)) to its "See also" section.

Thank you for your comment:
Your recent editing history at Control (2007 film) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 05:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
I took a bunch of stuff out, including the idea that the author dropped about 57 names in the lead. The lead has been shortened and is much more informative and appropriate. Thanks for the opinion. Jsharpminor ( talk) 06:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I think this might be a personalised search problem. Have you tried opting out of Google's personalised search feature? Personalisation messes with the search results. With the feature turned off, the search engine does show the disambiguation page for control.-- SGCM (talk) 09:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks I'll try it. Gloryshookthiswater ( talk) 10:56, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
