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.
Martin sees an old artist with a much younger woman. Intrigued, he visits the artist's studio only to discover that the man has just died while having sex with his young girlfriend. Even more intrigued, he begins to pester Cecilia and soon she starts sleeping with him. Their relationship is an uneven one in more than age: he is obsessed, she is indifferent. Gradually, he slides down into an even less savoury obsessive state, following Cecilia around, and becoming increasingly brutal in his advances.
