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.
Hearing the news that his alcoholic, abusive father has died, 25-year-old Barky returns home to suburban Sydney for the funeral. Listless and unmotivated, Barky reconnects with his brother Wace and ex-girlfriend Lanny, having been gone for two years. Wandering the desolate streets of his youth, Barky refamiliarizes himself with the town he grew up in.
