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.
Young and hard-headed, Galya comes to Moscow from a coal-mining town in order to realize her dreams of becoming a supermodel. But when she pushes her way into the office of a powerful editor-in-chief of a beauty magazine, she is promptly dismissed and is told that she is too gangly to ever become a model. But through her perseverance and some help from her gangster ex-beau from back home, she eventually is catapulted to the cover of magazines--though in ways she never expected.
