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.
Five young Marines are shipped off to Vietnam in 1968. It quickly turns into a nightmare. Disgusted by the pointless combat, the corruption of their South Vietnamese ally, and constantly endangered by the incompetence of their commander, the young men find a potential escape from the war. They're told that if they can defeat a rival soccer team, they can spend the rest of their tour playing exhibition games behind the lines. But nothing in Vietnam is as simple as it seems.
