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.
Jorge is a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher toiling away in a shabby Jamaica, Queens diner run by Rick. Tormented on the job by his coworker Jerry and controlled at home by his older, domineering male "roommate," Jorge gropes mutely for a bond with Amy, a newly hired Korean waitress. She tries to reciprocate, but the gulf that separates them may be too large.
