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.
When their mother succumbs to a mysterious illness, four orphaned children bury her in a cement-filled trunk in the cellar. The oldest child, Julie, assumes the maternal role while Jack, fifteen, withdraws into sexual self-absorption. The arrival of Julie's boyfriend Derek spurs Jack into assuming a mantle of maturity by which he finally wins his sister's admiration and love.
