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.
Claire, a brilliant young pianist, watches her life crumble around her -- she's rejected by a prestigious piano competition, her boyfriend forgets his marriage proposal (but remembers to dump her), and her apartment is destroyed by an earthquake, forcing her to move in with her parents. In an attempt to change her life and luck, Claire stops practicing piano and starts a life of partying.
