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.
After they meet in college, a wealthy boy named Michael and a poor girl named Nancy fall in love and want to marry, but the Michael’s mother disapproves, so they elope. The couple is in a car accident, putting Michael into a coma and disfiguring Nancy’s face. Michael’s mother takes advantage of the fact that Nancy’s family cannot afford her reconstructive surgery, offering to pay for it provided Nancy change her name and never see Michael again. Nancy agrees, but when she meets Michael years later, their love is rekindled.
