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.
Anita is a babymother -- a single mother in a black neighborhood of London -- who's got style, energy, attitude and a burning desire to become the local dancehall diva. Her babyfather Byron is a local reggae star, with his own ambitions, and isn't helping much, along with the rest of the men in the dancehall scene. So she gets together with girlfriends Sharon and Yvette to form a girl group. Her personal life gets confusing though when her mother dies and her sister reveals that she is, in fact, her real mother.
