The Glove

In a restless Los Angeles that feels more like a pressure cooker than a city, a shadowy, sadistic presence haunts the streets, turning everyday life into a series of uneasy glances and whispered warnings. The atmosphere crackles with a blend of gritty realism and almost palpable dread, as the urban sprawl becomes a character in its own right—one that both conceals and amplifies the menace that prowls its alleys. The tone is unflinching, a balance of noir‑ish tension and brutal, kinetic energy that promises relentless, rock‑‘em‑sock‑‘em confrontations.

Sam Kellog is an ex‑cop turned modern bounty hunter, drifting through the same streets he once patrolled with a badge that now feels more like a relic. His life is a precarious juggle of low‑pay captures, a recent divorce, and mounting pressure from a estranged ex‑wife eager to limit his time with their young daughter. That personal strain gnaws at him, making every assignment feel like a gamble not just for cash but for a chance at redemption and a foothold in a life that threatens to slip away.

When his former commander, Lt. Kruger, offers a sizable, off‑the‑books bounty, Kellog is drawn into a high‑stakes pursuit. The target is Victor Hale, a massive ex‑convict whose notoriety is tied to a lethal leather‑and‑steel glove—a relic of prison brutality that has become his signature. The hunt promises a clash of raw physicality and street‑wise savvy, especially as another bounty hunter from New York, Harry Iverson, surfaces with his own agenda, adding a competitive edge to the already volatile mix.

The film’s core is the tense cat‑and‑mouse dance between a desperate hunter and a formidable quarry, set against a city that seems intent on swallowing both. Themes of financial desperation, fractured family ties, and the thin line between law and vengeance weave through the narrative, creating a world where every confrontation feels both inevitable and fraught with moral ambiguity.
