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.
Casa Del Norte is a snobbish, upscale community where Ellie lives with her parents, younger sister and Swedish au pair. They all hate it except Dad, who is having an affair with the au pair. So Mom has an affair with the next door neighbor, until she is found bludgeoned to death on the kitchen floor. In a Hitchcockian twist, Ellie's grief gives way to a twisted obsession to become her mother as well as the object of her father's desire.
