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.
A young woman turns up at the door of a good-hearted, middle-aged chef. She claims to be the daughter of his ex-wife and suffering from poverty. He takes her in, falls in love with her, and then she carries on an affair with his best friend. It turns out she has gold-digging on her mind and soon thoughts of murder abound.
