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.
Tom Ripley is an angelic-looking young American whose talents for everything but holding down a job are impressive. When he is recruited by a concerned father to travel first class (all expenses paid) to Paris to bring back an errant son, he accepts. The two young men enjoy the good life in Italy until Tom finds his money source cut off and discovers a more sinister way to maintain his lifestyle.
