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.
Toronto hustler Cheryl and her boyfriend, Jason, run over nerdy Donald who is, as usual, drunk. Without Jason's help, Cheryl drags the drunken Donald back to his crummy apartment to make sure he's okay. When Donald awakes, he believes he has been saved by an angel. Although not a "real" angel, Cheryl decides to make a test case out of Donald in order to help him find his true potential.
