The Glove

About This Movie

The Glove is one of those gritty action flicks that sits in that sweet spot of late '70s exploitation cinema. You’ve got a bounty hunter on a mission to bring back this fearsome ex-con, and let me tell you, that glove is nothing short of a character itself—leather and steel, like a twisted piece of art. The pacing feels relentless, with a palpable tension that keeps you engaged. There’s a certain rawness to the performances, with a mix of over-the-top moments and gritty realism that add to that nostalgic charm. Practical effects are here, too, making the action feel visceral, and there's a unique atmosphere that captures the era's essence, making it distinct from the more polished action films of today.

The Glove has gone through a few format changes since its release, with DVD editions being reasonably common, but original VHS tapes can be a bit harder to come by. There's a growing collector interest in the film, particularly among those who appreciate the rawness of late '70s action cinema. It doesn't carry the same weight as some other genre entries, but it's definitely one that sparks conversation among collectors who enjoy the more unconventional titles of the era.
