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.
Torsten is a loner, a 43-year old virgin who teaches in a country school. He has a crush on Berit, who works in the local supermarket and is herself having an affair with Glenn, the husband of a co-worker. When Torsten drunkenly confesses his love one night, she runs off, but is later raped by Glenn. When news of the rape spreads, Torsten finds himself under suspicion.
