"The Proposition" is a story about a brother who must decide if he is willing to give a brother's life to save another. It is set in Australia in the late 1800's.
Charlie (Guy Pearce, in his finest work since "Neighbours) and his younger brother Mikey (Richard Wilson, formerly from "McLeod's Daughters) are caught during a siege. Mikey is thrown into prison and Charlie is given an ultimatum- find and deliver his older and much more sought after brother Arthur (Danny Huston, in his finest work since he played Bartender 2 in "Leaving Las Vegas") or Mikey will be hung.
Charlie sets off to find his older brother but unbeknown to him some people in the police force think the offer made to Charlie is foolish and set out to make changes. Eventually Charlie tracks down his brother and lets him know why he's there. The brothers must decide what to do with their brother's life hanging in the balance.
A little slow for me and the story wasn't gripping or anything new. A different setting I guess but just way too boring for me. Give it a miss.
