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.
In the days before karaoke, the members of a band which started out playing high-school hops have parlayed those beginnings into a career of sorts touring the rock-cabaret circuit. Now the band, down to a trio, is reaching the end of the line. They find themselves with a residency at the Waikiki Club in the town where it all began (Suanbo, a once fashionable hot-spring resort) and where Sung-Woo, the only founding-member left, faces constant reminders of the idealistic kid he used to be.
