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.
On the advice of his priests, a tyrant king orders the sacrifice of a young woman to a mystical snake god, in the belief that this will restore prosperity to his kingdom of Koumbi. The beautiful Sia is chosen as the victim. She is betrothed, however, to Mamadi, a valiant and honorable lieutenant in the army, who rebels against the decision to perform this ritual. Things begin to go awry, and the ensuing struggles and revelations confront issues of honor, corruption and power.
