Review The Proposition [Blu-ray]

The Proposition [Blu-ray] Best Review

First off I would like to say that this movie is really worth it on Blu Ray. It's very cheap relative to other Blu Rays... And it looks amazing. There are lots of awesome wide shots, as this takes place in Australia. It's a really grimy movie, and it shows alllll the little details on everybody. There's a lot to see in hi-def.

Also, this movie is just straight up really awesome. It's not too long, and the story progresses in an exciting fashion. Guy Pearce is awesome! Big props for Ray Winstone's character too.

The Proposition [Blu-ray] Overview

The Proposition is a visually stunning tale of loyalty, betrayal and retribution set on the frontier. In the harsh, unforgiving landscape of the Outback, Charlie Burns is presented with an impossible proposition by local law enforcer Captain Stanley: the only way to save his younger brother Mikey from the gallows is to track down and kill Arthur, his psychotic older brother. Meanwhile, Captain Stanley has other problems to contend with. Having given up their comfortable life, he is desperate to shield his innocent wife Martha from the brutalities of their new surroundings. He also faces mounting pressure from renegade natives and his superior Eden Fletcher to bring order to the region. An uneasy sense of foreboding grows as events close in and each character faces a punishing moral dilemma that leads to a murderous climax...

The Proposition [Blu-ray] Specifications

A savage Western set in Australia's Outback, The Proposition is relentless in its intensity and bloody imagery. Set in the late 19th century, the film tells the brutal story of a gang of brothers that kills not out of desperation, but because they can. Arthur Burns (Danny Huston) is the mastermind who shares little in common (other than total disregard for human life) with his younger brother Charlie (Guy Pearce, L.A. Confidential, Memento). When Charlie and their baby brother Mike (Richard Wilson) are captured, Charlie is offered a proposition to save their necks from the gallows. "Suppose, Mr. Burns, I was to give both you and your young brother Mikey, here, a pardon," offers Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone). "Suppose I said that I could give you the chance to expunge the guilt beneath which you so clearly labor.... Now, suppose you tell me what it is I want from you." Without blinking, Charlie says, "You want me to kill my brother." For most people, this would be an unthinkable proposition. For Charlie, the answer's obvious. He'll do whatever he has to spare his own life, even if that means trading his for Arthur's. The Proposition at times is a difficult film to watch. But thanks to a compelling story by rocker Nick Cave and a supporting cast (including Emily Watson as the Captain's gentle wife), the film is a classic in the making. --Jae-Ha Kim

"Ya got me brother." Blu ray review. - A. Scultore - NY
The Proposition: Save your younger brother by killing your older! This is what Charlie Burns (Pearce) must do in order to bring an end to his older brother's brutal cycle of violence. Set in Australia in the 1880s, this is a gritty "western" that will make you gringe. It has been hailed as the next great western, but don't be fooled. It is a good movie that has great acting with a simple an effective plot. Don't confuse this as the next "Unforgiven". Worth a watch.

BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Excellent picture but the audio was inconsistant. Nice special features. FINAL VERDICT: UPGRADE IF YOU ARE A HUGE FAN OF THIS MOVIE.



Very Cerebral - Todd S. Whitmarsh -
Ok, I am a fan of Horror and somewhat, Westerns. This is neither. This is a psychological Western in the sense that it deals with your mind. My favorite Westerns were "High Plains Drifter" and "Pale Rider" but this is not Fantasy! But this movie is Cerebral, the noises, images truly react to the mind. Also, the story is the best part. I would recommend this movie to ANY buyer.



one of the best movies ever - Harrison Brock Schaerr - riverton utah
Focuses too much on the sheriff and his wife, the story should be about the relationship between these brothers.

well acted and shot, pretty.

...it's too bad good films rarely perform well at the box office.
