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.
Set in 1962, the tale involves Gil, a percocious boy blessed with creative imagination who hopelessly falls in love with Jessica, his beautiful classmate who's as eccentric as he is. Predictably, their love is perceived as "unhealthy" and disruptive, deviating from mainstream society's definition of how children should or shouldn't behave, and therefore, Gil is sent to a center for problem children.
