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.
Carter has become cynical about relationships: his niceness always lands him the role of friend while his girl friends choose to sleep with men who treat them badly. When he meets Maggie he decides to woo her by acting like a selfish rat: unfortunately Maggie has had her fill of rats and is looking for a nice guy who'll treat her right.
