The Propesition (2005)

Gritty "western" of the Australian outback has been called by Joe Firmage a "little masterpiece". I don't quite agree with that statement but I can see where he is coming from. It's moody, nicely shot, and ham-fistedly existential. The characters however, with the exception of two, are really underdeveloped and hence not compelling enough for me to really care about. Mostly it just reminded me of a lot of other movies ranging from Unforgiven to Stingeree. Great character part in it for Jon Hurt though.
