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.
Sixties doo-wop singer Vince, of Vinnie and the Dreamers fame, gave up his singing career 30 years ago to raise a family in Brooklyn. His wife now dead and his children growing up, Vince is forced to confront his past when his son Anthony starts his own rock 'n' roll band. Adding to his stress, Vince's daughter Tina is hospitalized with leukemia. But Vince may have found a fellow lonely heart when his frequent hospital visits put him in touch with nurse Joanne, another single parent working hard to hold her family together.
