The Mighty Quinn (1989) is a movie that I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a Jamaican detective and his best friend who grew up on the island. When the detective is framed for murder and robbery and his only clue is a $10,000 bill he will try to uncover who is behind the heist and why they targeted him.
This movie is directed by Carl Schenkel (The Hitchhiker) and stars Denzel Washington (Training Day), Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle), Mimi Rogers (Lost in Space), M. Emmet Walsh (Bladerunner) and Esther Rolle (The Jefferson).
Denzel Washington's accent in this always cracks me up. The settings and backdrops are absolutely gorgeous. The cast is impressive and delivers solid performances. The storyline is straightforward and outside of the $10,000 bill element wasn't overly creative and kind of cliche. The best part of the movie was probably the soundtrack.
Overall, this is a fairly average addition to the crime drama genre that doesn't have enough unique elements to really stand out. I would score this a 6/10 and only recommend it if nothing better is available.
