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.
Brave and honest, young Ali leaves everything in Egypt behind, his Cairo family, his job and his girlfriend, to move to Paris and become a boxer. Training hard, Ali starts to make his way in the world of prize fighting, but his career is cut short when he refuses to throw a fight for some mafia types and they put him in the hospital. Waking up with amnesia, Ali's friendship with his nurse helps him to regain his memory and discover what it is he's really trying to do.
