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.
Back from an errand for a seedy circus owner, urchin Krishna finds the troupe has picked up and disappeared, leaving him with barely enough money for a 3rd class ticket to Bombay. From here on, Krishna becomes a chaipau, constantly on the run delivering tea in one of the city's red light districts; sleeping in a garbage-strewn alley with world-wise new friends; snatching moments of pleasure with pilfered sweets or at a Bollywood musical; and doing the bidding of a drug kingpin/pimp whose latest project is taming an abducted 16-year-old into prostitution.
