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.
Nuclear submarine captain wannabe Tom Dodge's dream command turns out to be an underseas nightmare when he's handed the reigns of the U.S.S. Stingray, a decrepit rustbucket of a diesel sub. The just-out-of-mothballs, World War II-vintage tub is only the beginning of Tom's problems as he embarks on a secret mission with a motley crew of misfits who make Gilligan look like Captain Blood. The free-thinking Lt. Commander's crew of Navy castoffs includes Lt. Emily Lake, who hopes to become the Navy's first female sub officer; Executive Officer Martin Pascal, an officious martinet who opposes Dodge's easygoing style; and Howard, a veteran diesel sub engineer who comes out of retirement to keep the Stingray afloat.
