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.
In the sunshine of Venice Beach and suburbia, a storm comes raining down when the prodigal son, Jeff, decides to do the right thing and stay with the troubled young woman he gets pregnant. The decision goes against the sage advice of his best friend and father Tony, setting up a turbulent conflict within Jeff over his allegiance to the family that raised him and the one he is in the process of creating.
