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.
Among French cops an informer is a cousin, a close relationship between police and criminal. When a drug squad cop, under investigation by internal affairs, commits suicide, his partner inherits his cousin. He continues to protect this dealer, and the two become not only professional partners but friends. The line between cops and criminals becomes fainter.
