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.
Henry Bancroft and Oshel Hooper are farmers' sons in rural North Carolina in 1934. Both are poor and the Depression is forcing many of their neighbors out of their farms. In addition, Oshel's father died in World War I, and he is so disillusioned with what he sees as a chaotic society that he dreams of redistributing wealth through robbery. When the bank forecloses on Henry's father's farm, he begins to take Oshel more seriously, and the two embark on a string of bank heists.
