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.
Intense physical attraction makes lovers of Dominique a poised, sophisticated career woman and Quentin, a handsome, streetwise young hustler. She gives him a nice place to live and a regular allowance, while he brings youth, beauty and excitement into her austere existence. For a time, the power of desire is enough to overcome their differences of age, class and experience, until their affair insidiously drives them both to the edge.
