Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
Mott Campbell, a low grade secret service agent, along with his parner Alex has been assigned the simple mission of escorting Mr. Takamichi, a Japanese dignitary's son, from JFK Airport to the United Nations. At an airport bar, they meet two girls who invite them to a mysterious party. Unknown to the agents, the girls are working for a discontented airline stewardess who has planned to kidnap Mr. Takamichi. Simone, the prettiest girl in the gang, falls for Mott, and after a shoot-out on the runway, Mott gets his man and Simone flies away with a little more than a broken heart.
