The Proposition

[lurkerwithout]

So you've got this Captain Lawman dude. And he's captured outlaw Guy Pearce and Guy's little brother Mickey. But he really wants their killin', rapin', stealin' outlaw older brother. So he tells Guy that he'll hang Mickey on Christmas. Unless Guy goes and gacks Big Bro. Then he sends off Guy with a horse and a gun...

Then he goes back to town to his purty wife and his salty men who think that they should have just hung both brothers on the spot and some angry townsfolk and a hoity-toity dude and some restless natives...

Oh yeah and its all set in Australia's "wild west" period...

Good movie. Pretty bloody as is normal for most modern Westerns. There's a very brutal flogging at one point. Also very much of the moral shades of grey kind of thing...
