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.
Edmond Rostand's swashbuckling tale of misplaced love has been transported to the crowded slums of Caracas. There, amid poverty, corruption and murder, Cyrano pines for the impossibly beautiful Roxana, crafting unsent declarations of love in between stints ghostwriting for a local rapper. Everything changes with the arrival of young Cristian, who, while challenging Cyrano for Roxana's affection, inadvertently sparks a gang war.
