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.
After a stint in prison together, brothers Terry and Ray are released. Ray's time in jail has made him want to go straight and he finds some comfort in a relationship with Clare. Terry, on the other hand, reenters the Northern England crime world with a vengeance. Soon Terry has rebuilt his criminal network of drugs, weapons and coercion. The two brother's separate paths come to a head, however, when Terry kidnaps Clare in an attempt to draw Ray back into his criminal circle.
