To say the love story was hard to believe, is putting it mildly--it was impossible to fathom.
08/15/04
Feels like it was crafted by an outsider, with the cliche-filled dialogue reading like a rough translation.
09/20/03
One of those films where great acting and occasionally brilliant dialogue attempt to overcome an unbelievable plot and a cowardly Hollywood ending.

The biggest flaw in Love the Hard Way is its total inability to coherently convey the passage of time.

08/02/03
Brody pulls the juggling act off -- bringing to mind some riveting cinematic misfits before him, from Brando to McQueen to Pacino.
08/01/03
There must be some reason to worry over the fate of these people, but it's not in the movie.
07/25/03
Heartfelt but fatally overwrought romantic melodrama.
07/11/03
Though the lanky, dreamy-eyed Brody shows range, he's got a dorky quality that's hard to dismiss -- his strutting his stuff sends eyes rolling.
07/10/03
Brody has offbeat charisma, but it's no match for the corny dialogue he's given here, not to mention the Wild at Heart snakeskin jacket he wears.
07/10/03
"Love the Hard Way" looks low budget and any box office will be made from those interested in seeing Brody in his post “Pianist” role...
07/09/03
As character studies of Jack and Claire, it is daring and inventive, and worthy of comparison with the films of a French master of criminal psychology like Jean-Pierre Melville.
06/27/03
Top CriticA dark, uneven character study.
06/27/03
so damn weird in refusing to go where one expects that it maintains interest - too bad it missed a chance at last minute redemption with a satisfying conclusion
06/26/03
Brody creates exactly the taunting demi-monster who could inveigle Claire.
06/25/03
It's a mostly clichéd story about a good girl who falls for a bad boy and believes that their love is strong enough to make him change his ways. When has that ever worked -- in real life or the movies?
