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.
Vincent is a brilliant young man who has not taken the fast track that his studies gave him. He works as a baggage handler in an airport and willingly steals objects from travellers. His colleague Gerard forces open the suitcase of a Syrian diplomat and is killed following the explosion of a bottle of perfume. The DST makes Vincent accept a deal: in exchange for collaborating with the French and British secret services to find those involved in the explosion, he will not be prosecuted for his thefts. The investigation leads him to London where he has to get close to Peter Burton, a British businessman. The DST and MI5 suggest that Vincent should seduce Burton's French wife Claire.
