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.
Ben works in a morgue, where he watches porn flicks to pass the time and occasionally indulges his necrophilic urges. When a beautiful yound overdose victim is brought in, he can't resist, except the woman isn't truly dead and she regains consciousness during his sexual assault. The woman, Teresa, finds herself attracted to Ben and follows him to his apartment, but he has no interest in her now that she's obviously alive. When he goes to an S&M club with his girlfriend, Teresa follows and offers herself as a plaything. Meanwhile, Ben's friends are planning a final trip for a friend dying of AIDS.
