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.
A tale which focuses on a family reunion which goes terribly awry. After a 15-year unexplained absence, a man named Coco returns to his family clan in France's southern Alps. While his story of service in the Foreign Legion is not wholly accepted by his mother or two adult brothers, he is nonetheless welcomed home. His sudden re-appearance and strange, erratic behavior has an unnerving effect on the household, particularly on his two very young nieces who view this stranger with varying degrees of apprehension.The family reunion is happy at first, but old tensions arise and soon a volatile mix of anger, violence and madness engulfs the family.
