Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
In-your-face combativeness is The Proposition's power, and for those of you who value your westerns, the effect is not unlike that of The Wild Bunch or Unforgiven.
– Peter Debruge,
Miami Herald,
9 Jun 2006
rotten:
By the end, it all pays off exactly the way a hundred earlier Westerns did.
– Roger Moore,

rotten:
It doesn't offer much that hasn't already been said about lawless frontier towns, bonds between outlaws or the settling of the West.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
9 Jun 2006
fresh:
A visionary tale of a fragile civilizing impulse crushed by family loyalty and a lust for revenge in the vast Outback of the late 19th century.
– Joe Morgenstern,
Wall Street Journal,
22 Jun 2006
fresh:
A beautifully shot tracker's western that brings the Fordian poles of garden and desert to bear on the bushrangers' Outback, this is also a revenge drama of substantial horror.
