The Proposition

THE PROPOSITION (2005) - Sept. 14, 2005
Though it took a while for me to fully get into it, this movie did eventually win me over. I liked the direction; the film contained some impressive scenes of the Australian outback. It also helped that Ray Winstone gave a really excellent performance, in fact probably his best that I've seen (it was a lot more subtle than his usual performances, relying a lot on facial gestures and such). I also liked the interaction between Ray Winstone's and Emily Watson's characters. The movie established a tone and a mood that really just drew me in, and there were some really powerful moments. ***1/2
