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.
Paul Ryan can't connect with real women, so he indulges in pornography and prostitutes. He makes some amateur erotic videos and takes them to Spano, a major porn producer. Spano tells him he has potential in the industry and that he will take him on if he can find a new actress. Paul manipulates wannabe actress Kate, an innocent small-town girl, to be in his films. Paul discovers the corruption of the porn industry, but too late, when his actions have already led to tragedy.
