The Proposition is a fascinating watch; good old-styled western movie about revenge and dealing with the natives. However, its set in the great, barren Australian outback. Guy Pearce is part of a splinter group of outlaw brothers who is caught but needs to hunt down his brother, to save another. Finely shot and with the script written by the enigmatic Nick Cave, throws up a relatively simple yet interesting story - and a haunting soundtrack. Superb performance by Ray Winstone and everyone around (Guy Pearce appropriately stoic). It also shows how the aborigines were dealt with by the colonialists in their attempt to induct civilisation. A movie that stays in your mind well after the credits roll.
