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.
Enrico is the old-time owner of an Italian restaurant in New York, who is gunned down by some hoods. After talking to the police, Enrico's son Louis returns to the restaurant for what proves to be an eventful evening. One of his sons is the chef, who is trying to turn the family-oriented restaurant, into a popular TriBeCa hot spot, while his other son, the not-too-bright Duncan, owes money to the mobsters who murdered Enrico. When the mobsters arrive and take up a comfortable table, nobody is more surprised than Louis' other dinner guest: a police detective.
