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.
Follows a rather cold and selfish retired high school headmaster, not eager to stay on his own after retirement. He begins to search for a woman to look after his house--and to satisfy his need for affection. With his neighbor Julien, he sets out on a search for this ideal wife, and when a 25 year-old cleaning lady turns up, recently arrived from Belarus and visibly pregnant, the old grouch finally realizes what he was looking for: love.
