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.
Hoping to escape her poverty, Jessie marries Eddie Miller, a childhood acquaintance who has made good with a variety of dishonest business ventures. Faced with mounting debts, Eddie callously orders Jessie to divorce him and marry the wealthy John for his money -- then divorce John and return to Eddie with the cash. Jessie reluctantly goes along with the scheme, but she double-crosses Eddie upon falling in love with John.
