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.
When Kate falls in love with a common journalist, she faces an impossible choice: either marry the man she loves, or give him up to take her rightful place in society. The struggle between her head and her heart is the conflict between 19th century values and 20th century passions. Their highly charged love affair is forbidden and discreet until the arrival of a young American heiress nursing her own tragic secret, who offers them a tempting solution that will lead all three into a world of dizzying possibility and unexpected consequence.
