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.
Ellie Parker races around town from one audition to another, changing make-up, clothes and personality as she speeds along, barely attending to her whirlwind life as she strives to get cast in a movie. And her best friend Sam, her boyfriend Justin and her new fling Chris just don't seem to help. As Ellie considers giving up after losing faith in the craft, her manager Dennis doesn't exactly talk her out of it. One last insane audition for Ellie, and she's back in the game--or is she?
