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.
A tale of obsessive love centering on the intersecting lives of four young people living in Los Angeles. First, there's Matthew, who writes a newspaper column and hosts a radio show featuring advice on relationships while his own relationship with Liz, his ex-girlfriend, could, at best be described as troubled. Disturbed by Matthew's behavior, Liz turns to Garret for advice then protection. To further complicate matters, Matthew attempts to make Liz jealous by going out with Corey, who, in addition to being a struggling actress, is Liz's friend. Violent manipulations and deceptions lurk beneath this surface of a love gone wrong.
