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.
Jim is a self-absorbed, emotionally unstable teen from a Stockholm suburb who is sent off to a reform school in a northern coastal town. His fellow pupils are a mixed bunch of nerds and social rebels under the tutelage of Conny, an impassioned teacher. With the help of Stina, a choreographer, Conny tries to extract the devil within them by staging a musical he's written, with mixed results.
