This is one of those non-Hollywood films that really comes to fruition! You must see this fantastic film! Well crafted and very distinctive!
Not your typical western, brutal at times.
Leave the kids and your sense of decency at home!
The Proposition is not for the faint of heart. You may however want to take this one in. It`s like a Western but the setting is the Australian Outback of the 1880`s. The three Burns brothers are ruthless violent men who kill for entertainment. Their adversary is Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) who manages to capture Charlie and Mike Burns. The `hero` makes a deal (proposition) with Charlie. Stanley will set the two free if Charlie tracks down and kills his brother Arthur. Ray Winstone gives a creditable performance in a well put together film. Go see The Proposition if you have the guts.
WOW. Some of the best acting I have seen in any movie. Most realistic violence. I find it hard to do this movie justice with words. It is truly an experience more than a film. If you can, go see this movie.
This is a very gritty and raw film. It very encouraging to see some great movies coming out of Austrailia. And this one fits the bill.
I like westerns, looks like it has potential
