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.
Love, sex and everyday vanities are seen through the eyes of a young woman tormented by a new-found love, and through a lens that makes unexpected twists and turns. Cora's visit to her gynecologist ends in confused stammering to the substitute physician, an attractive young man who she imagines to be her lover. The following day Cora impatiently waits for Daniel to call her, but he does not. In her imagination she plays through all of the possible scenarios: Should she follow her girlfriend's advice and not call him, at least for three days? Is he really interested in her? Is there another woman in his life, or perhaps even many? Suddenly, he shows up at her doorstep.
