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.
In a small town on the edge of the desert, Blue wants to complete his father's dream of building a water slide. The problem is water rights, which have been sewn up by the Empire Cola Company and who try to buy off the townspeople's discontent with free soda. When an Empire truck crashes and creates a toxic spill, the town is quarantined. A pretty TV star and her professor father are stuck there for the duration, and link up with Blue and an oddball assortment of locals as the town faces off with the company.
