  The Mighty Quinn 1989

  ★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  “It was a mystery, suspense, Jamaican thriller with Denzel Washington as the mighty Xavier Quinn, a detective who solves crimes. Funny, that’s just the the way I imagined him when I wrote the song “The Mighty Quinn”… I wondered if Denzel could play Woody Guthrie. In my dimension of reality, he certainly could have.”

  Hard to watch at times because of how closely it skims the surfaces of human desperation and self-loathing. 

  Maybe the best use of a Beatles song in any film.

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Dec 2022
