P.S. Speaking of the Proposition, anyone seen Seraphim Falls?
Falls is essientially a variation on The Proposition, except more Ford-ish.
It starred Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan and surprisingly Brosnan upstaged Neeson in it. I thought it was average (not bad for a western these days) with pretty imagery and great subtle acting in the large landscapes of New Mexico and Colorado (where it was shot) but the storyline was too thin and conventional.
It also would have worked better without *the* flashback where the past is revealed and it is far less dark than the movie implies and the mind conjures by itself. The movie would have been better without that scene. A lot better. As it is, it has several extremely intense and satisfying scenes one involving a waterfall, another a horse and another a bullet wound. It's cereberal finale is religious, biblical and satisfying, yet somewhat empty and hallow at the same time.
It was disappointing but any fan of the genre should give it a try though.
