Tenderness

(2009)Directed by John Polson101 min · RCrime, Drama, Thriller
“The intimacy of the kill”

Eric Poole (Jon Foster) walks out of juvenile detention at eighteen, released after serving time for killing his parents. Detective Cristofuoro (Russell Crowe) has never believed the boy is finished and trails him, convinced he will kill again. Fifteen-year-old runaway Lori (Sophie Traub) drifts toward Eric, and John Polson sets the three on a collision course where the detective's certainty and the girl's trust may both cost a life.
