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.
Ben Madigan has just started a new job as an insurance adjuster with the sweet but naive hope of helping people. Once there, however, he comes under the tutelage of a jaded John Kreisky, who uses Ben's innocence to his advantage, enlighting the young man in an "experiment." What seems at first like a simple plan to save the company money turns out to be an elabarate scam intended to defraud it.
