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.
Lillian, a twenty-something call girl, living in Los Angeles, is dependent on her last client, Gene, a jaded drug-dependent millionaire. Through a twist of fate, Lillian meet a mysterious young writer, Luke, and finds herself caught in-between the possibility of love and a new sexual awakening with Luke, or the twisted rituals and gritty lifestyle to which she is accustomed. Her ultimate struggle for freedom and a sense of identity culminates in a conflict between love and trust.
