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.
Life is tough for 11-year-old Jae-soo. His alcoholic father is addicted to gambling and insists that there should be a woman in the house to take care of the boy. He keeps bringing waitresses home from the bar but none of them can stay long. One day, his father brings home the 11th lady and being tired of the "visitors", Jae-soo treats her with a cold heart. However, the more Jae-soo tries to kick her out, the more she sticks around. But when they realize that there's a strong bond gradually built between them, they also find not much time is left for them to be mother and son.
