Movie Reviews of The Proposition
Movie Review: Uncompromising
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank God this movie got made; It's hard to find fault with this film, from the performances to the incredible art direction; The story is engrossing yet simplistic; Every character is richly detailed, no matter how much screen time they get; The cinematography and landscape are stunning, only to be matched by a grisly intensity that is found in fewer and fewer films today. I'm not talking gore, either. While this film is graphic, there is alot left to the imagination. I'm talking more about that feeling of dread, that feeling of 'God, this situation sucks and isn't going to end well for ANYONE...'. This film has stuck with me for days after viewing; Always a sign you've stumbled onto something special.Movie Review: Phenomenal Macabre Australian "Western"
Summary: 5 Stars
Given the hard-biting "western" this movie was, it did not miss nary a gear. Impeccable production attention to detail, production/directing/acting shows deep difficult feelings with ease, silky smooth networks of sight and sound, non-stereotypical character development, rare inviting glimpse at early raw Australia with Aborigines and British, complex human equations explored (both male and female), top notch music score throughout. You'll storehouse lasting analogies. I'll be writing more on this. If you like hard raw non-conventional "westerns" this fresh punchy movie offers optimal bang for the buck. Congrats to the producer/director/actors/music guys - you really got this one right.Movie Review: Under Hyped
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a movie for the fant of heart. Sure it's voilent and gritty but thats no what it is about. It is about the good and bad in us all. killer/rapist Arthur Burns is not a souless plot device but is human albeit very twisted "we're not misenthropes we're family" and he lives by that protecting his family. Captain Stanley who gives the proposition actualy has empathy for charlie burns (the younger brother). It's about hardened people in a brutal land who do what they think will help them survive. So if your looking for a violent gritty and most importantly intelligent movie you've found it.Movie Review: A WINNER AMONG LOSER WESTERNS
Summary: 5 Stars
I only have a few things to say since it's already been said about this movie.
Great Western (Ausie) Movie. Guy and Ray were stellar. If you like violent movies mixed with Cowboys this is the movie for you. Well acted, scripted and violent to boot. It's like a Spaghetti Western uncut. Only Ravenous can measure up to this type of off-kilter western.
A lot of crap has been coming out in this genre lately, but this can possibly be the new format for successful cowboy/western flicks to come.
See it, but make sure the kiddies are in bed first.
Movie Review: a very intense western from australia
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the sad truths of the last 20 years is that Americans seem to have largely lost touch with the western films they invented. But the films live on often far from their inspiration. This is an "australian" western. Its a brutal morality tale set in the australian outback. This isn't for everyone in that the story (and almost everything else) is very intense.
The acting is uniformly excellent and the shooting of the film is very creative. If you like intense stories at the edge of law and morality, this is a good piece of work.
