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.
Madeleine and Jean-Paul are lovers. One night they are discovered by Madeleine's husband whom Madeleine then accidentally shoots. The two plan to meet on October 13th, in a cafe in Strasbourg. But before then, Jean-Paul is involved in a car accident and gets amnesia. He has no idea who he is but recalls only the rendez-vous. Going to Strasbourg, he is repeatedly addressed as Christian Vogel, heir to a large fortune. He plays along with this new identity, unaware that he is now part of a sinister plot. Only Madeleine can help him discover the truth.
