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.
Charlotte has waited almost a whole lifetime to be with the man she loved: Hugo, her sister's husband. In the meantime she has lived her own life, survived a war, a husband, and a lover, given birth to three children, and all the while kept this skeleton in her closet. Now, over 80, and her days clearly diminishing, she meets the love of her life again. This obsessive passion is fulfilled when Hugo confirms that he has also realized - too late - that she was the one true love of his life.
