    I have to say I’m very interested in seeing The Proposition now that I’ve read Massie’s review. Westerns are one of my favorite genres, and the notion of a Western from Down Under is intriguing on its face.

    I sort of recall The Proposition when it came out, but it passed without a trace. Now I’ll have to rent it.
