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.
A philosophical exploration of karmic retribution and redemption. Three robbers, Parn, Por and Singh, are on the run from the police after a successful heist. In desperation, one of them buries their loot on the grounds of a Buddhist temple. After a few months, they are dismayed to discover that a new hall has been built on top of their stash. To retrieve the money, they have no choice but to convince the monastery's elder monk to ordain them. However, it is unclear whether or not Buddha's teachings will free them from their dark nature or if their criminal impulses will force them into desperate measures.
