The Proposition
Directed by: John Hillcoat
(First Look Pictures)
Set in the sizzling outlaw outback of Australia, screenwriter Nick Cave (yep, that Nick Cave) delivers what you might expect: a dusty, bloody tale of familial bonds stretched to breaking and death by hot lead, told through sterling performances by Guy Pearce, Danny Huston, Ray Winstone and Emily Watson. Watch for John Hurt at his sleaziest.
