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.
Upon finding his mother's handgun, thirteen-year-old Stevie and his girlfriend launch into an explosive journey reminiscent of "Dog Day Afternoon." Armed only with their new "toy" and their movie-inspired emotional reflexes, the teens--without any regard for the severity of their actions--hold up a bank and take several innocent people hostage, leaving one FBI agent totally frazzled.
