Reviews for The Mighty Quinn
A terrific mystery with a Caribbean beat; Denzel Washington needs to do more movies like this.
With Fancher's dialogue and Washington's comedic timing, The Mighty Quinn is more fun than a cabana full of bananas.
The Mighty Quinn is a spy thriller, a buddy movie, a musical, a comedy and a picture that is wise about human nature. And yet with all of those qualities, it never seems to strain.
