VHS Movie Reviews of Mighty Quinn [VHS]
Movie Review: C-Note times 10: $10,000!
Summary: 4 Stars
`The Mighty Quinn' is a fun movie to watch. It takes place somewhere in the Caribbean where the character of `Quinn' played by Denzel Washington is top cop. As such Quinn must investigate a mystery, where in the world did all those $10,000 US dollar bills come from? And who is the mysterious man in black, err in this case the man in white, chasing the loot down? Who even knew that the Federal Reserve ever printed US currency of such lofty denomination! The man in white knows. Now the Mighty Quinn must solve the mystery before any more people die in his island paradise. As a historical note once upon a time, when a dollar was really a dollar, US currency was printed in denominations of: $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $50,000 and even $100,000 but don't watch this movie for a lesson in history. Watch it for sheer enjoyment.
Summary of Mighty Quinn [VHS]
A 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 HortonAction & Adventure VHS Video
