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.
A pretty teenage orphan runs off to become a waitress in a traveling carnival and becomes infatuated with a magician there, who won't return her love. Instead, she finds herself the object of deep affection by the carnival's puppeteer, an otherwise bitter man, who can only express his feelings through his puppets.
