This movie is nuts! A gruesome horror/ sci fi thriller about a group of strangers who wake up in a mysterious, puzzle- like cube of horror. They must work together to find a way out (if there is a way out). One wrong move may prove fatal.

The Proposition

First to recommend

Description

This is a great dark Western that most people slept on. Directed and written by musician Nick Cave, this story is set in the Australian outback and stars Guy Pearce (Momento) as an outlaw who is proposition by corrupt law enforcers. The proposition: Trade his younger brother's freedom (who faces the gallows) for his notorious and elusive older brother. Eesh! Tough one.
