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.
In a bleak and sleepy 50s Texas town, two high-school seniors, stars on a losing football team, ponder their futures, carry on love affairs with the town sweetheart and and an older, married woman respectively, and look to fatherly advice from the ex-cowboy owner of the town's pool hall/cafe and moviehouse. But when the moviehouse closes for good it not only forces the youths to reeaxmine what lies ahead, it also signals the end of an era.
