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.
Three unsuspecting Americans in Russia find themselves in a dangerous situation out of their control. One of them, Billy, is a mute makeup/special effects artist working on a low-budget slasher film who, locked in the broken-down film studio late one night, thinks she witnesses the making of a snuff film. Thus begins a night of terror when her friends, who try to help her, get trapped in a complex web of lies and life-threatening situations that stem from the twisted mind of a criminal kingpin known only as "The Reaper."
