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.
Gregoire Jeancour is an important industrialist who has just been released following his imprisonment for an unspecified financial crime. His friends and family -- including his brother, a TV personality who hosts a hard-hitting current affairs interview program -- urge him to return to public life, but he's a changed man, unable to communicate or connect with anyone except a lovely young woman who works in the hair salon his bored wife frequents and whose own boyfriend, coincidentally, was released from prison the same day as Gregoire.
