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.
A spoofish, gore story about a mild-mannered editor, Edward Svensson, who undergoes a mysterious, desensitizing transformation when his boss removes him from cutting one of his usually sedate films (a typical "Euro arthouse" pic) and reassigns to him edit a series of schlockish, splatter flicks. Stuck behind a movieola in his boss' summer cottage, endlessly witnessing mutilations and violations of the worst order, the formerly artistic professional devolves into "Evil Ed," a wicked, maniacal killer.
