Review of The Proposition (2005) by Tuukka P — 06 Mar 2010
Brutal Aussie "Western" about one brothers choice to either let his younger bro get hanged or find and kill his older brother who's a famous outlaw. Hillcoat and Cave give us a truly dark continent with scenes of floggin ("38!"), murder, rape and flies (which seem to be a part of the set decoration).
No honorable cowboys to be found in this story. Pearce gives another great performance but for me the overall brutality and darkness go a it too far in the end. Great indie fim still.
