Mighty Quinn -dwm-DVD-27616858689

Xavier Quinn (Denzel Washington) is police chief of a tiny Caribbean island. Quinns efforts to straddle the fence between the local blacks and the moneyed whites have lost him the respect of both groups. When a murder is committed. Quinn suspects that the killer is Maubee (Robert Townsend). a notoriously elusive criminal who has become a folk hero to the locals. Despite various political pressures -- and the fact that he and Maubee were childhood friends-Quinn vows to solve the murder. and. if necessary. bring Maubee to justice. A mess of merry plot twists distinguish this diverting fox-and-hound caper. Filmed entirely on location. The Mighty Quinn was based on Finding Maubee. a novel by A.H.Z. Carr. Hal Erickson
