When police officer Xavier Quinn's childhood friend, Maubee, becomes associated with murder and a briefcase full of ten thousand dollar bills, The Mighty Quinn must clear his name. Or try to catch him, which could be even trickier.
As the title of my review states, I am Caucasian and rarely watch African-American flicks (most are comedies these days, and I am more of a drama and suspense fan).
I am also not a huge fan of Denzel Washington - however, what I do love, is the country of Jamaica!! I have been visiting the island every year since I was 18, and was even married there. I now take my two young daughters there for summer vacations. So needless to say, I know quite a bit about the country and love immersing myself in their culture. The Jamaican people are so very different than the African American's that I know here in the US. With that said, the accents in this movie left something to be desired. (In fact, there were some "accents" that weren't even close to sounding Jamaican).
But alas, I still enjoyed this movie. I was surprised to see that it was made in 1989 - for the longest time, I thought it was newer, perhaps 1995 or 1996. The clothing and hair "styles" in Jamaica are very far behind the US, so perhaps that is why I didn't immediately guess the movie was as old as it was. It isn't uncommon to still see a lot of island residents wearing clothes from the 80's and 90's. The cars/trucks are always quite old, as are the buildings (minus the new resorts that pop up).
As many other reviewers have pointed out, the island feel in this movie is great. I am a huge fan of reggae - and although I dislike musicals, they blended the music with the scenes very nicely.
The obvious tropical backdrop, combined with the small beach shacks, the colorful residents and the busy little towns with dirt roads winding around the countryside is a great setting for a mystery. All in all, I feel that the main character of this movie is the island itself. Without the setting, this movie would not have worked whatsoever. This is a great movie to watch on a cold winter day - it's a bit of an escape, and always has me counting down the days until my next visit to Jamaica.
5/10
Smooth and charming Police Chief Xavier Quinn (a fine and likable performance by Denzel Washington) has to search his Jamaican island beat for lovable local rascal and old childhood pal Maubee (a wonderfully engaging portrayal by Robert Townsend) in order to clear Maubee's name after he's accused of murder. Capably directed with considerable flashy panache by Carl Schenkel, with a pleasantly casual pace, and a colorful and absorbing script by Hampton Fancher, further buoyed by an extremely catchy'n'bouncy reggae soundtrack, nice touches of wry humor, and a flavorsome Caribbean tropical setting, this film possesses a certain affable laid-back appeal that's impossible to either dislike or resist. The strong cast helps a lot: Washington and especially Townsend excel in the lead roles, with fine support from James Fox as jerky rich resort owner Thomas Elgin, the lovely Mimi Rogers as Thomas' neglected and enticing wife Hadley, the always great M. Emmet Walsh as hearty, yet vicious hired killer Fred Miller, Esther Rolle as fearsome witch Ubu Pearl, Art Evans as irritable Sergeant Jump Jones, Sheryl Lee Ralph as Xavier's fiery and sultry wife Lola, Norman Beaton as the meddlesome Governor Chalk, and Key Luke as the helpful Dr. Raj. Washington easily carries this picture with his supremely amiable and charismatic presence. Jacques Steyn's bright cinematography gives this movie an attractive sunny look while Anne Dudley's frothy score keeps things bubbling along. A winningly breezy and carefree romp.
There is little to dislike in The Mighty Quinn, but neither is there any compelling reason to see it. [17 Feb 1989, p.C]
