In a world ruled by violence, one man wears the gloves that could bring it all down.
“GLOVES (2025)” explodes onto the screen as a gritty, high-octane action thriller starring Chris Hemsworth in one of his most intense roles yet. Directed by acclaimed action filmmaker David Leung, the film combines raw fight choreography with a gripping story of vengeance, corruption, and personal redemption.
Hemsworth stars as Ryan “Gloves” Mallory, a retired MMA fighter turned underground boxing coach, trying to leave violence behind him. But when his brother, a journalist investigating a powerful crime syndicate, is murdered in cold blood, Ryan is dragged back into a world he desperately tried to escape. His only clues: a pair of bloodstained gloves and a cryptic message pointing to an underground fight network.
The film follows Ryan as he infiltrates brutal fight rings across the globe, from neon-lit Bangkok arenas to secret Russian fight clubs. Each bout takes him closer to uncovering a sinister conspiracy involving arms trafficking, human exploitation, and a shadowy figure known only as “The Broker.” Along the way, he partners with Detective Sofia Alvarez, played by Ana de Armas, whose own past ties her fate to the same criminal empire.
“GLOVES (2025)” shines with jaw-dropping fight scenes choreographed with bone-crunching realism. Hemsworth performs many of his own stunts, delivering powerful brawls that feel both cinematic and raw. The film balances its brutal action with moments of quiet grief and determination, exploring the price of violence and the meaning of family.
Ultimately, “GLOVES” isn’t just a story about fists and fury. It’s a tale of a man forced to embrace his violent past to protect those he loves — and to confront a system built on fear and greed. With Hemsworth’s magnetic screen presence and pulse-pounding set pieces, “GLOVES (2025)” promises to be one of the most electrifying action films of the year.
