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.
While vacationing in Maine, Ph.D. candidate Gilles runs into working-class Guylaine, and the couple hit it off. Returning to his native Quebec, Gilles begins frequenting the bar where Guylaine works, meeting her brother Bob. Bob makes a living working for local mafia boss Matroni. When Bob shows up one night, badly beaten, Gilles offers to help intervene by delivering a letter to Matroni on Bob's behalf. But things with Matroni only get worse when Gilles decides to read the letter before he delivers it.
