    This western is a poetic masterpiece, with an excellent script and soundtrack from Nick Cave. Guy Pearce is one of the most underrated actors out there right now and this film is just more proof.

    This is a gritty, filthy, ultra violent western set in Austalia. The cinematography is amazing. And the use of yellow is unique. This is one of the best westerns made in the last 30 years. Everything about this film kicks ass. Seriously essential veiwing for the fan of westerns!

    After a second viewing, I ended up liking this even more. That ending is one of the best endings in a western I've ever seen (outside of maybe 3:10 To Yuma). It's really gruesome, but if you can get past that, this is a real gem.

    Brutal, thought provoking and essential viewing from Nick Cave and John Hillcoat, another master neo-western!

    Sadistic Law enforcer in 1880's frontier Australia gives a member of an outlaw gang (Guy Pearce) the eponymous proposition. Kill your older brother (Danny Houston), or your younger brother dies.Screenplay by chuckle brother Nick Cave, much has been made of the bloody violence in this,but given the context,its entirely justified. Good performances from Pearce,Ray Winstone and Emily Watson,it's not exactly feelgood stuff, but utterly compelling in parts.Recommended

    This movie is brilliant in many ways. The acting and the beauty of the land of which the cast is present.

    Also this movie is not as gory as some have been saying. The movie is rarely full of killing or fights. There was only two parts of the film that had gory scenes. Other then that the movie was fine.

    Like The Punisher, this film is not for the weak of heart (although is slightly tamer). Its a powerful movie that details a mans struggle to rescue his brother and.........oh you just watch it, what am i your babysitter?
