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.
Kati is a young girl who lives with her doting grandparents in a house by the canal in Ayutthaya. She only has a faint memory of her mother, whom no one around Kati opts to speak of. As days pass the specter of the unspoken looms larger, and Kati's grandparents finally let the girl decide whether she'd like to take a trip to see her mom, who's dying in the family's house by the sea.
