Synopsis
Tenderness (2009) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director John Polson adapts Robert Cormier's novel, with Russell Crowe as a retired detective who can't let an old case go.
Eric Komenko walks out of juvenile detention years after killing his parents as a boy. Lieutenant Cristofuoro, now retired, stays glued to his trail, certain the young man will kill again. Then there's Lori — a fifteen-year-old runaway, fixated on Eric, who climbs into his stolen car uninvited. One of them is fleeing pain; another is chasing a thrill. The film keeps you guessing which is which.
Jon Foster and Sophie Traub make the teenagers unsettlingly real, while Crowe plays his investigator quiet and worn rather than heroic. This is a slow-burn psychological piece, not a chase movie — the tension builds in the silences. Stream Tenderness (2009) online on iFILM.
