Summary of The Mighty Quinn
Oscar? winner* Denzel Washington (The Hurricane) and Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle) star in this witty romantic entertaining and light-hearted who-dun-it (Vincent Canby The New York Times). Filled with spice and adventure The Mighty Quinn is delightful...a sunny Caribbean caper as seductive as a great big umbrella drink (The Washington Post)! Life in the easygoing Caribbean is hard on Police Chief Xavier Quinn (Washington). Dubbed The Mighty Quinn by sarcastic islanders and nagged by a wife who d rather he were babysitting Quinn is suddenly thrust into action when his childhood friend Maubee (Townsend) is accused of murder. Forced to search for his elusive friend Quinn meets up with a colorful array of suspects including the dead man s beautiful mistress who dreams of being a lounge singer (Mimi Rogers) an eccentric voodoo sorceress with snakes in her parlor (Esther Rolle) and a mysterious American visitor with dubious intentions (M. Emmet Walsh). *2001: Actor Training Day; 1989: Supporting Actor GlorySystem Requirements:Running Time: 98 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?R UPC:?027616858689A highly enjoyable sleeper. The plot of The Mighty Quinn is a variation on one of those '30s studio pictures about two boyhood friends who grow up on different sides of the law--but it's 1989, and things are a bit different. Denzel Washington, smooth as Jamaican rum, plays the police chief of a Caribbean island, a place where crime isn't exactly a pressing concern. Thus the chief is put out when the clues in a murder case point to his old buddy, a dreadlocked ne'er-do-well played by a mischievous Robert Townsend. Director Carl Schenkel is much more interested in friendships and great island atmosphere than in the actual unlocking of the case, and that's just fine. Add in a bouncy soundtrack of reggae music, and The Mighty Quinn becomes one of those hard-to-resist vacation movies. --Robert Horton
