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.
Two thirtysomething white collar business partners--both of whom have been rejected by women--conspire to find a vulnerable woman, simultaneously date her, and then break up with her just to assuage their damaged egos. Both men, however, become attracted to the woman and then become engaged in a cat-and-mouse game of one-upmanship that eventually escalates into full-scale psychological warfare.
