Review of The Proposition (2005) by Scott G — 21 Jul 2008

Great acting on show here.

Ray winestone plays a british soldior in charge of a post in the outback australia, for the british empire, ne needs to track down local outlaw played by danny huston, so he decides to send other outlaw and brother charlie played by guy pierce, to track him down, along with a promise to let another brother let off a murder charge, so he agrees, much to the disgust of winestones wife played by emily watson, who seems to be talk of the town and she doesent like it. a great take on the western, set in australia, this film looks hot, really hot, really catches that feel, and sence winestones disgust at having been posted there, so will the brother deliver his promise or is family loyalty more inportant, winstone again shows why hes probely the best brit actor around at the moment, and also huston always a joy to watch, he deserves more credit, and again emily watson, so great, great climax to this as well, and ties things up nicely, quite a violent film as well, which helps it a lot, some great set pieces, which is a must for any western. written by nick cave I noticed, hes a respected musician from australia.
