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.
Set against the backdrop of an Atlanta strip club, the story revolves around the relationship between a gangster and a stripper. Diana is working in a shoe store to support her young son, when friends introduce her to the more lucrative world of stripping. The owner of the strip club, Dollar Bill, is being pursued by creditors. Diana's cousin Ebony gets a job in the club too, but falls into sleazier private party jobs, which lead her into trouble.
