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.
Casey and her dorm mate Grace are complete opposites. The determinedly polite Grace wants to follow the Southern Belle Rules: graduation, the "perfect wedding" to the "perfect Southern gentleman" and a house built by Daddy near the club. Casey is a loner, smart but hardened by her troubled past and the parents who walked out on her. Casey doesn't know what she wants -- except to stop living with Grace. She tries her best to torment Grace any way she can, but one day she goes to far, and Grace decides that it's time to "right the balance" -- even if it proves to be her own undoing.
