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.
Malli, a freedom fighter for an unspecified cause, has been chosen to be a human bomb in a suicide mission to assassinate a VIP. She makes her preparations for the mission, traveling through dangerous countryside, going undercover as a student, and contemplating her fate. As the time approaches, it is her spiritual and psychological journey that becomes primary. She thinks of a young activist who died for the cause, of her dead brother, and of a comatose farmer's wife she has encountered.
