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.
Petite brunette Lynette and tall, ambitious redhead Terry are close friends and survivors of the inner city, and are not above trying to peddle stolen goods for a quick buck. Terry has a secret boyfriend and keeps promising Lynette a trip to Loch Lomond. Lynette, however, starts dating Andy, who, though he's involved in petty crime, warns her not to get in too deep with the city's loan sharks. But Lynette is up to her eyes in debt, and its finally up to Terry, through her connections, to save her friend's skin.
