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.
An ultra-noir hommage to writer Dashiell Hammett in which fact (Hammett was once a detective) is blended with fictionalized references to Hammett's hard-boiled crime fiction "The Maltese Falcon" (USA/) and other works.
