Probably the best movie I've seen in a long time.
If you like hollywood shit blockbusters then you'll probably hate this movie.
Stolen from infilm.com.au:
The Burns brother’s gang, Arthur (Danny Huston), Charlie (Guy Pearce) and 14 year-old Mikey (Richard Wilson) and others, are allegedly responsible for the savage rape and murder of the settler family. The law is in the person of British trooper Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone), a man who is given to staring broodily at the heat haze over the desert and quoting Shakespeare, “What fresh hell is this?” along with his running motif of “I will civilize this place”. Brutally threatening the captives, he offers Charlie a proposition. Young Mikey will hang on Christmas Day, unless Charlie finds and kills his older brother Arthur, the leader of the gang.

This film is violent and graphic at at times a little hard to watch, it had my wife squirming in her seat more than once.
Quote of the movie: "Irish are just niggers turned inside out"
