The Mighty Quinn (1989)

Overview

Police chief Xavier Quinn investigates the gruesome murder of Donald Pater, one of the wealthiest residents on a Caribbean island. He was found decapitated in his Jacuzzi. Although the local political establishment, especially crooked Governor Chalk, insists that small-time thief Maubee is responsible, Xavier has his doubts. This view is complicated by the police chief's personal history with Maubee: The men have been friends since childhood.

Leans Progressive

Primary

The film leans left due to its central critique of foreign exploitation, class disparity, and corruption within a post-colonial island setting, framed through the lens of a local police chief's pursuit of justice.

The movie features a diverse cast that authentically reflects its Caribbean island setting, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a mystery without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.

Secondary
