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.
Chilsu is an optimistic teenager who loves a fast-food waitress and dreams of emigrating to Miami. When Chilsu's life goes sour, he takes up with Mansu, a disillusioned artist who sells him on a "get-rich-quick scheme," and the film turns darker as it contrasts two very different views of Korea, and considers the possibility of reconciliation.
