• Watch: The Proposition

Set against the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the 188o’s Australian outback, The Proposition is a visually stunning tale of loyalty, revenge and the quest for justice in a lawless land. Director John Hillcoat (The Road), working from a screenplay by  musician Nick Cave (Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) has made an anti-hero western so raw and uncompromising, so filled with unnerving character studies and grisly suffering, it would’ve made Sergio Leone jealous.

Guy Pearce, Ray Winestone and John Hurt all turn in incredible performances, while Danny Huston is utterly brilliant as the  poetic psychopath Arthur Burns, who the indigenous Australians simply refer to as “The Dog Man” because of his vicious behavior.

Running time: 104 minutes
2006, First Look Pictures
