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.
Lena is a shamanic healer in a Mexican village who's been barred from exploring her "powers" by her contentious mother--who asserts that her own child was born under a "dark and dangerous sign." Finally, following their last blow-out, Lena sets off to squat in a run-down rural area where her hippy-ish, outcast neighbors allow the young woman to set up her own healing practice.
