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.
The story of a beautiful and emotionally/psychologically distraught young woman whose unique perspective (literally, through the lens of a camera) results in suffering and despair. The heroes are Jiney and sexy lesbian roommate-best-friend Jas. Jiney and Jas are casual photographers, but Jiney is the braver, and finds a fetish-like new aspect of her hobby when she one day witnesses a car crash and photographs the body. Morbid fascination snowballs into a photo lust for all things dead or disturbing -- and Jiney has soon crossed more lines than she is even aware, irretrievably submerged in a subculture full of creeps with creepy agendas.
