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.
Despite the fact they are rich and beautiful and clearly in love, Mousse and Louis have fallen into a spiral of drugs. One morning in a chic Paris apartment, Louis is found dead of an overdose and Mousse is unconscious. When Louis' mother arrives to show the apartment to a prospective tenant, she discovers she had no idea of the life her son was leading. With him gone, she is left with his junkie girlfriend who is pregnant with Louis's baby.
