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.
Stray Man is a raging street poet who periodically disrupts karaoke sessions at the local pub to deliver his frenetic, free verse rants. Inevitably trailed by a pack of braying dogs, Stray Man rescues a young girl from the advances of a truck driver and soon she's providing musical accompaniment to his poetry. Local entrepreneur and would-be impresario Knockoff hears their musical ramblings and gets them a contract with a big music company. Disaster, of course, ensues.
