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.
The phanton was abandoned as a baby, and raised by rats living in the subterranean passages under the Paris Opera. Now an adult, he is in love with Christine, the understudy to the lead diva at the opera. Devoted both to Christine and to the rats he regards as family, he kills anyone who threatens either of them. But although Christine falls for him also, the lovers cannot be together.
