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.
Safely in Vienna, the Serbian immigrant family of young Milan seems very removed from the war that is keeping them from returning home. When his older brother Sascha arrives with his new Bosnian wife Suza, the family is joyous. However, Sascha has been changed by his war experiences and rumors circulate that he may have been responsible for war crimes and atrocities. Sascha's father, Bora, supports his son and spouts off Serbian nationalist slogans which ultimately alienate him from his family and the community in Vienna. Sascha rejects his father's support, chooses to spend much of his time in isolation, and begins to doubt Suza's motives for joining him.
