The Proposition (2005)

Aussie director John Hillcoat helmed this gripping, epic-scale Western set in the thick of the 1880s outback. When no-nonsense lawman Capt. Stanley (Ray Winstone) apprehends the notorious Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) and his younger sibling, Mikey (Richard Wilson), Stanley makes Charlie an unsavory proposition: If he murders his outlaw brother, Arthur (Danny Huston), Mikey will escape the hangman's noose. Emily Watson plays Stanley's genteel wife.

Nice scenery, but aside from the captain played by Ray Winstone, I never came around to care about the characters or any of the supposed emotional conflict between the brothers - there's very little meaningful interaction between them, even though that's supposed to be the core conflict driving the story.

The Proposition is a harsh, gritty and dirty hellish journey into one family's cycle of violence and a country's early years of settlement and class displacement. Shot as equally sweltering as the Australian desert landscape, the film features a stirringly dark and ambient musical score by Nick Cave who also does a fine job with the script. Not for the faint hearted, The Proposition to this day remains John Hillcoat's finest work.
