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.
Kent and his wife Sara live in a small Swedish town with their son Stefan. Although the neighbors do not realize, Kent is violent and abusive towards his family. One day Sara returns home to discover Stefan has suffocated Kent while he slept, leaving him apparently dead. Sara and Stefan dispose of the body in the woods, only to discover the next day that Kent has survived, but is paralyzed. As the wheel-chair bound husband returns home to his family, no one is sure how much he remembers about what happened. Then, when Kent attempts to return to his abusive ways, tragedy strikes.
