I came to this movie expecting to be great just because Russell Crowe was in it. The thing here is Mr. Crowe doesn't have the principal role, but that certainly isn't bad news. The main actors, Jon Foster and Mrs. Sophie Traub did an excellent job here. If not for them this movie would have sink in the waters of oblivion.
The story had to be slow paced, it's a history about a boy named Eric who was condemned to prison, judged as a kid for killing his fathers. Now that he is 18 years old he has been released. But a cop thinks he will murder again, so he follows him, waiting for him to make a mistake. And while the boy goes in the search of a beautiful girl he saw once, a depressive girl named Lori appears in his car and joins him in his trip.
And here we go, the basic premise of the movie, we don't know for sure if Eric will kill again, we don't know why Lori is so obsessed with him and we also don't know why the cop wants him to be in prison. The good thing about this film is that it will answer all your questions and you will be rewarded at the end, but the very slow nature of the history make it difficult to watch, but helps you to take time to understand the motives of everyone involved.
Tenderness its a really simple movie about very complex characters. Everyone has their motives, their back story and while the ride is not as fun or well done as it could, it closes pretty well. It's like a simplified version of the style of "The Talented Mr Ripley" or Woody Allen's "Cassandra's Dream" Recommended for those of you who enjoyed slow suspense, character driven thrillers.
