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.
An embittered French nobleman, taken prisoner along with his effeminate son during the Hundred Years War against the British, returns home years later thanks to a ransom paid by Beatrice, his devout, adoring daughter who has sold off property and land. But her hopes for a happy reunion are quickly dispelled by her father's malevolent actions, including his incestuous rape of Beatrice and and intentions to marry her in defiance of the church.
