The Glove (1979) is a very underrated John Saxon film about a broke bounty hunter who is desperate for money to pay off his alimony, so he takes up the job of finding Victor Hale, an ex-convict, despite the warnings of how dangerous he is. John Saxon gives the best acting performance I've seen from him, accompanied by a strong plot that kept my attention the whole way through. 4/5.
