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.
A young Japanese woman journeys to Hawaii circa 1918 to marry a man whom she's only known through a photograph and letters. Upon her arrival, however, she's shocked to discover that he's at least 25 years her senior. The following year is spent on a sugar plantation--a time of hardship, struggle, and unexpected joy.
