set on a fictitious caribbean island that resembles jamaica ( where the film was actually shot ) , ' ' the mighty quinn ' ' is a breezy semitopical whodunit about a ghastly murder , island politics , washington interference , a little voodoo and the expert sleuthing of the chief of the local police , xavier quinn .

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 .

a cultural misunderstanding between two men from different worlds — inuit hunter anthony quinn and traveling missionary priest marco guglielmi — results in the priest ' s death and the native hunter being accused of murder . maligned and misunderstood at the time of release , the film has earned a cult audience of admirers over the years , including bob dylan , who riffed on the film in his song " quinn the eskimo ( the mighty quinn ) . " " in its ecological , ethnographic and political concerns , it ' s arguably as significant and ahead of its time as wind across the everglades . " — geoff andrew , " the films of nicholas ray . "

xavier quinn is caribbean - born but united states - trained ( by the federal bureau of investigation ) . the islanders , who knew him before he rose to prominence , refer to him with affectionate sarcasm as ' ' the mighty quinn , ' ' which is also the title of the bob dylan song with which they serenade him at odd moments .

' ' the mighty quinn , ' ' which opens today at the astor plaza and other theaters , is successively witty , romantic , simple and pretty . without looking embalmed in the way of the images on picture postcards , the film has been photographed in the crystal - clear heightened colors that recall the way an island paradise should look but really didn ' t while you were there .

the mighty quinn is not at all a significant film , but it is a significant film moment in which washington went from supporting actor to actor , mainstream actor , leading actor , and oscar - winning ac - tor . townsend , however , did not . washington plays xavier quinn , a stylish police chief on a caribbean island run by a governor who cares more about tourists than racists . townsend is maubee , the chief’s childhood friend who is suspected of murdering a wealthy man staying at a posh resort .

[ 13 ] [ 14 ] quinn and benvin remained together until his death .

the national council of la raza gives the anthony quinn award for excellence in motion pictures as an alma award .

‘the mighty quinn’ is a delight , mainly due to schenkel’s deceptively casual direction and the main character . no , not denzel , who portrays police chief quinn , and not local folk hero maubee , played by robert townsend . the people , scenery and lifestyle of the film’s carribean locale are fondly depicted , and it’s their island charm that entices the viewer to flop down in a bean bag chair , take a long pull from a bottle of whatever , and enjoy this fun , funky ride .

at the local premiere of the film on june 23 at the carib cinema , jampro president sancia bennett templer underscored the importance of promoting jamaica as a location for international films , while also affirming the agency ' s commitment to supporting the development of jamaica ' s indigenous film industry .

maxine walters , an experienced and highly respected local line producer who has worked in various capacities on hollywood projects in jamaica such as treasure island , clara ' s heart and the mighty quinn in portland , as well as instinct and legends of the fall in other parts of the island , stated that a film project represents a quick short term injection of funds that also creates good temporary jobs .

you ain ' t seen nothing like the mighty quinn ! what a wonderful little movie , great reggae soundtrack , a badass denzel performance , a big heart at the center of the story and a few exciting action scenes . it may be a little slow in the middle but it ' s a great ride .

i really enjoyed watching " the mighty quinn " . the picture is very well directed and well casted . denzel washington plays a west indies chief xavier quinn ( cool name ) handling a murder case and is facing a problem since his good friend maubee ( robert townsend ) may have been involved . filmmaker carl schenkel has a real feel of the carribean culture , the music and the characters . i admired the small relationship between washington and mimi rogers since they both reminded me of walter neff and phyllis dietrichson . " the mighty quinn " is one of those great drama thrillers like arthur penn ' s " night moves " where you got a very smooth , handsome main character all caught up in a plot that will eventually get in way over his head . in this case it would be xavier quinn . for a low budget picture drama , this movie sure puts a badly big budget film to shame .

full support is always at hand . we like to meet and speak with our new clients regularly because we believe that there is no substitute for personal communication - and mighty quinn is all about knowing our clients well and generating ideas that are individually tailored for them .

brian st juste , owner of timecode productions and president of the jamaica film and video producers ' association , expressed similar sentiments as he called for the continued development and growth of the local film industry . he noted that 20th century fox ' s decision to film in jamaica represented an endorsement of the talented cadre of seasoned professionals who have repeatedly demonstrated their competence and ability to work on major projects .

the reason i point this out is because the emotional undercurrent of the story is the estrangement of his wife lola ( the wonderful sheryl lee ralph ) . unable to cope with his desperate need for acceptance from the island elite , her disappointment in quinn is reflected in the derisive tone when she sings ‘the mighty quinn’ . if she had been in the bar ( which she wouldn’t have - their young son lives with her ) to see him come in drunk , i doubt she would have been singing along so happily .

carl schenkel , the swiss director whose first american film this is , and hampton fancher , who wrote the screenplay based on a . h . z . carr ' s novel , appear to have adapted the film ' s style and tone from the sort of reggae lyrics that so delight visitors from the north .

though their friendship was tempered by quinn’s dismay at casement’s unabashedly pro - german sympathies , the death sentence handed down in an english court led quinn to put aside his enmity for the central powers and mount a campaign to spare casement from hanging .

quinn’s efforts were to no avail . casement was hanged in london’s pentonville prison on august 3 , 1916 . ten days later , on august 13 , quinn published an elegy in the new york times magazine in which he wrote :

kim marie spence , jampro ' s creative industries manager and film commissioner , indicated that in addition to areas such as institutional strengthening , training and industry certification , intellectual property rights and investment in infrastructure , the film policy will explore a framework for incentives and funding .

brian st juste opined that jamaica ' s experienced and highly competent film professionals , who have worked on every major film shot in the island , require support in hurdling the challenge of attracting the large investments needed to fund indigenous productions . he noted that despite the suite of incentives provided to filmmakers under the motion picture encouragement act , which include duty free entry for film equipment and tax holidays on profits , there is still more that needs to be done .

" while we seek to attract major film projects from overseas to the island , we are also dedicated to working with the local film industry . we have already met with local industry players who have expressed their concerns as it relates to support for promotional activities and access to financing . jampro , through the film commission , will be working closely with local filmmakers to address these matters and facilitate the development of local content , " stated bennett templer .

quinn was born antonio rodolfo quinn oaxaca in chihuahua , mexico , during the mexican revolution . his mother , manuela " nellie " oaxaca , was of aztec ancestry . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] his father , francisco ( frank ) quinn , was also born in mexico , to an irish immigrant father from county cork and a mexican mother . [ 3 ] frank quinn rode with mexican revolutionary pancho villa , [ 1 ] then later moved to los angeles and became an assistant cameraman at a movie studio . in quinn ' s autobiography the original sin : a self - portrait by anthony quinn he denied being the son of an " irish adventurer " and attributed that tale to hollywood publicists . [ 4 ]

quinn spent his last years in bristol , rhode island . he died aged 86 in boston , massachusetts from pneumonia and respiratory failure while suffering from throat cancer shortly after completing his role in his last film , avenging angelo ( 2002 ) .

" the film policy , now in the final stages of drafting , will attempt to alleviate funding issues for local filmmakers as it seeks to establish a partnership with financial institutions such as development bank of jamaica and credit unions to establish a specific line of credit for film , " said spence .

in 1965 , quinn and demille were divorced , because of his affair with italian costume designer jolanda addolori , whom he married in 1966 . they had three children : francesco quinn ( march 22 , 1963 august 5 , 2011 ) , danny ( born april 16 , 1964 ) , and lorenzo quinn ( born may 7 , 1966 ) .

beginning with mr . washington and mr . townsend , each member of the cast performs with an engaging ease that reflects the spirit of the music , which , for once , is integral to the film .

xavier quinn ( denzel washington ) is chief of police and his friend maubee ( robert townsend ) is in trouble .

" the time to come together is now as we must move expeditiously to build an industry that will place jamaica as the premier film production centre for the caribbean , " stated st juste .

he appeared on broadway to great acclaim in becket , as king henry ii to laurence olivier ' s thomas becket in 1960 . an erroneous story arose in later years that during the run quinn and olivier switched roles and quinn played becket to olivier ' s king . in fact , quinn left the production for a film , never having played becket , and director peter glenville suggested a road tour with olivier as henry . olivier happily agreed and arthur kennedy took on the role of becket for the tour and brief return to broadway .

declared he " gives the smooth , funny , laid - back performance that could help make him the first black matinee idol since sidney poitier . " indeed , a highlight of the film is watching washington tickle the ivories while singing " cakewalk into town .

as a young man , quinn boxed professionally to earn money , then studied art and architecture under frank lloyd wright , at wright ' s arizona residence and his wisconsin studio , taliesin . the two very different men became friends . when quinn mentioned that he was drawn to acting , wright encouraged him . quinn said he had been offered $ 800 per week by a film studio and didn ' t know what to do . wright replied , " take it , you ' ll never make that much with me . "

he plays xavier quinn , a local boy who once played barefoot with maubee and got into the usual amount of trouble , but who grew up smart , went to america to be trained by the fbi , and has now returned as the police chief . the people of his district call him " the mighty quinn , " after the bob dylan song , and there is something both affectionate and ironic in the nickname . he knows everybody in town , knows their habits , and is on good terms even with the island governor ( norman beaton ) , a cheerfully corrupt hack who only wants to keep the lid on things .

casement’s treason in trafficking with germany , quinn argued , had to be balanced against his motives as an irish patriot . quinn wrote a long memorandum to the british foreign office arguing for commutation of casement’s sentence . he gathered the signatures of prominent americans and pressured the state department to send a cable .

soon after the execution , quinn learned that in the interests of dampening calls for sparing casement’s life , the british government had stealthily circulated diaries detailing his “degenerate” behavior as a closeted homosexual . furious at what he saw as a vile smear directed against his dead friend , quinn threatened to take the matter public and expose the diaries as forgeries .

the mighty quinn is a great time , a murder mystery set on an unnamed caribbean island , where denzel washington is chief of police and people sing reggae versions of quinn the eskimo . it is a light - hearted , sometimes sexy , crime mystery , that is less interested in the mystery and more interested in the location . it is such a good time that you don ' t mind the slightly underwhelming direction by carl schenkel , nor the walking plot device in m . emmet walsh . mind you , if anyone is going to be a plot device it should be walsh .

" there is obviously great value in attracting film projects to jamaica . many sectors benefit , and as a member of the accommodation sector , it ' s easy for me to see the benefits in terms of occupancy levels . hotels and villas tend to do very well whenever there is a major film project , " said lawrence .

if washington is the discovery in this movie , he is only one of its many wonderful qualities . i ' ve never heard of the director , carl schenkel , before . i learn from press releases only that he is swiss and has directed a lot of commercials , but on the basis of this film he ' s a natural . he is able in the moderate running time of 98 minutes to create a film that seems as rich and detailed as one much longer . he uses his jamaican locations and interiors so easily that the movie seems to really inhabit its world , instead of merely being photographed in front of it . and the music helps ; reggae somehow seems passionate , lilting and comforting , all at once . " the mighty quinn " is one of the year ' s best films .

in 1987 , both denzel washington and robert townsend appeared in a soldier’s story , a very good norman jewison film about the murder investigation of a black soldier on a louisiana military base in 1944 . jewison , who also directed in the heat of the night , specifically pursued this film , based on a stage play written by charles fuller . but that’s not the important part .

one correction : the woman that the above article identifies as quinn’s wife lola was in fact jax , played by the beautiful maria mcdonald . it is jax we see in the opening scene of the movie , attempting to pick up quinn at a wedding , even after he reminds her that he is married . undaunted , she pursues him playfully but hungrily , causing quinn to hide from her at one point . and it is jax who joins him onstage when his ‘cakewalk into town’ segues to the title song .

the execution of the rising’s leaders affected a change . quinn’s nationalist sentiments , stoked by british intransigence and the courage with which pearse and his companions went to their deaths , were ignited by the fate of sir roger casement . quinn met casement in 1914 when he came on a fundraising trip for the irish volunteers . an admirer of casement’s idealism as a defender of human rights in africa and south america , quinn hosted him in his apartment and put him in touch with potential sources of funds .

barrington mckie , a portland resident and jamaica union of travellers association ( juta ) driver who has been in the transportation business for over 30 years , also attested to the benefit of film projects to the economy of port antonio .

" portland is almost a forgotten parish in some respects , so we welcome the business opportunities that come with the shooting of a film . everybody tends to benefit from something like this , " said gasch .

mighty quinn management was founded by tim quinn to offer a friendly creative alternative to the often harsh world of publishing and the music industry . with 30 years’ experience in the arts , tim has worked in education , theatre , tv , radio , print media and the music industry . he has been a producer for lwt’s the south bank show , a writer for the guardian newspaper , editor of marvel comics as well as america’s saturday evening post magazine and currently is a welcome guest on the lecture and workshop circuits . all of this experience means you receive regular , direct contact with someone with a very high level of experience of working alongside media people , artists , publishers , actors and musicians .

and that’s when more instruments , including a banjo , chime in , but the tune is slightly different now ( we also get a close - up of lola , who’s been sitting in the crowd all this time , nodding to the music appreciatively at this point ) . at first , quinn doesn’t notice , or doesn’t seem to mind , as he’s still grooving on the song . but at some point , there’s a laugh from the crowd , and the tune starts to sound familiar enough quinn stops and gets a look on his face as if to say , “not this shit again . ” sure enough , the musicians on stage , and the crowd , start to sing “the mighty quinn” ( with a slight change in the lyrics ; instead of “you’ve not seen nothing” , it’s “you ain’t seen nothing” ) , and lola , who’s clapping along now , makes her way to the stage . there’s a profile shot of quinn as he’s about to close the piano in disgust until he feels a hand on his shoulder , and he looks around him to see lola , who chimes in on the chorus . from there , we cut to a medium overhead shot of lola , who starts singing a verse about maubee and quinn , and steyn pulls back the camera until we can see the other musicians playing along . after a few seconds of this , schenkel then cuts back to quinn , who by now is smiling ruefully . we see the hand of the bartender ( i think ) handing quinn a bottle of whiskey , and he takes a large swig from the bottle before appreciatively thanking the bartender , and lola finishes the verse ( “sunshine is for everyone / sunshine come back again” ) . up till now , she’s been the only one singing , but now it’s time for the chorus , and everybody joins in ( we see the crowd standing , dancing , and clapping along as well ) , even quinn , who is back to playing the piano again , and has a big smile on his face . after one last rendition of the chorus , the song ends , and we get an overhead shot of the crowd applauding lola and quinn as he appreciatively hugs her from the side , and raises the bottle in the air .

if you have any appreciation for big - budget epics set during the days of the roman empire , you won ' t be disappointed by this film . the gladiator training outdoes spartacus , and anthony quinn gives one of his finer performances . the writing - - or quinn ' s improvisation - - gives him plenty of good , understated lines as he goes through his torturous odyssey . jack palance is a special treat . this film offers an even - handed , sober treatment of budding christianity - - it is not out to appease or make converts , just tell a story about the man the mob preferred over jesus . suitable for most of the family except maybe the youngest members who might get shaken by some of the violence . a stoning scene is quite disturbing . rent , zap a bag of popcorn , and enjoy .

quinn made an appearance at the john gotti trial , according to john h . davis , author of mafia dynasty : the rise and fall of the gambino crime family . he told reporters he wanted to play paul castellano , the boss of the gambino family after carlo gambino . gotti had castellano murdered , becoming the boss of the gambino family thereafter . gotti was on trial concerning a variety of felony charges when quinn visited the courtroom . although he tried to shake hands with gotti , federal marshals prevented him from doing so , davis says . the actor interpreted the testimony of sammy ( " the bull " ) gravano , gotti ' s underboss , against gotti as " a friend who betrays a friend . " he hadn ' t come to " judge " gotti , quinn insisted , but because he wanted to portray castellano , who inspired the actor because he had had a " thirty - year - old " mistress , which quinn believed was " a beautiful thing . " he would later portray gambino family underboss aniello dellacroce in the 1996 hbo film gotti . armand assante portrayed john gotti and richard c . sarafian portrayed paul castellano . quinn was nominated for a golden globe for his performance as dellacroce .

in ( 1979 ) , walsh has established himself as one of the most prolific and popular character actors in american films . movie critic roger ebert immortalized him with his " stanton - walsh rule " , stating that any film with walsh or harry dean stanton couldn ' t be all that bad ! mimi rogers , probably better known for her marriage to tom cruise than for her film roles , plays the seductive wife of elgin . heated scenes between washington and rogers created lots of sexual tension in the original cut but , unfortunately , a kissing scene between the two was deleted out of the film after testing audiences objected to the interracial coupling . two television veterans round out the cast ; esther rolle as the island ' s witch figure , and sheryl lee ralph as quinn ' s aspiring singer - wife . rolle is best known for her work on

" all of the obvious economic benefits come with the filming of a hollywood movie in jamaica , and the only thing it takes out of the country is a roll of film . . . you can ' t beat that for an investment , " said walters .

still , this scene in the bar helps quinn ( and us ) understand that the locals accept both sides of him – the ball - busting , fbi - trained police chief who protects them , and the local boy that loves and secretly admires the raffish maubee .

" amendments are needed to provide additional incentives to the local investor . in recognising the challenges that face the industry and the need to develop a solid platform from which to build , the government has convened a film policy committee to review industry recommendations that will form the basis for the roadmap to increase the productive output and wealth creation , " said st juste .

the veteran driver indicated that his stint of several months on an episode of the fox reality series forever eden in 2004 , which pumped some us $ 7 million into the national economy , allowed him to complete the payments on his bus in short order . mckie , who once worked as a waiter at frenchman ' s cove , pointed out that gas stations also cash in on the increased transportation activities in the town during big film projects . he noted that this fuel cost was often absorbed by the film studio .

presented with convincing evidence the diaries were authentic , quinn dropped his plan . still , he wondered , how did casement’s private sexual behavior justify his being hanged for high treason ?

there are also a witch ( esther rolle ) who keeps a basket of deadly snakes in her parlor , quinn ' s wife ( sheryl lee ralph ) who sings and dreams of becoming a lounge act at a local inn , and all sorts of other beautiful women who want to get their hands on quinn .

though the characters and the plotting are strictly paperback , the film is written , directed and acted with an intelligence that doesn ' t demand that you leave your senses at the door . the picture of island life is neither unknowing nor fraudulent . it ' s a permissible idealization of far bleaker realities .

early in life quinn had an interest in painting and drawing . throughout his teenage years he won various art competitions in california and focused his studies at polytechnic high school in los angeles on drafting . later , quinn studied briefly under frank lloyd wright through the taliesin fellowshipan opportunity created by winning first prize in an architectural design contest . through wright ' s recommendation , quinn took acting lessons as a form of post - operative speech therapy , which led to an acting career that spanned over six decades .

it was disturbing that quinn does absolutely nothing when the manager accuses his wife of seducing the chief and then slaps her in the face directly in front of the police chief . any police officer who does not address that is immediately void of all respectability , credibility , and likability . i had to rewind and watch the face - off and explanation between chief quinn and maubee three times , and i still do not clearly understand what happened .

the struggle in our hearts between good and evil , the ways of man in general , various historical elements , the values of christianity , all these given in a truly beautiful movie . anthony quinn shows once more that one must born to be an actor of his magnitude . the other actors are very convincing , the scenery is great and so is the sound track . there is also enough food for thought in this film because of its nature , and it can create intense emotions . splendid

there is an anthony quinn bay and beach in rhodes , dodecanese , greece , just 2 . 7 miles ( 4 . 3 km ) south of the village of faliraki ( aka falirakion or falirákion ) . [ 18 ] [ 19 ] the land was bought by quinn during the filming of the guns of navarone in rhodes ; however , it was reclaimed by the greek government in 1984 due to a change in property law . [ 20 ]

quinn ' s film career slowed during the 1990s , but he nonetheless continued to work steadily , appearing in revenge ( 1990 ) , jungle fever ( 1991 ) , last action hero ( 1993 ) , a walk in the clouds ( 1995 ) and seven servants ( 1996 ) . in 1994 , he played zeus in the five tv movies that led to the syndicated series hercules : the legendary journeys . ( however , he did not continue in the actual series , and the role was eventually filled by several other actors ) .

few places in jamaica can lay claim to being as naturally beautiful and diverse as port antonio , a quality that continues to make it an ideal location for major overseas film projects that engage the local industry and contribute in a significant way to the economy of the town and the wider jamaica .

this film is perhaps one of the least known of hollywood ' s extensive list of biblical background epics . after leaving the theaters , it was being forgotten due to the little interest of the television channels . i think this lack of interest is due to three factors : the lack of a star cast ( anthony quinn is the biggest name here ) , the focus on a secondary biblical character and the invention of a fictional storyline around him . thus , the plot relates the life and walk of conversion of barabbas , after having been liberated by acclamation of the jews , in the events that preceded the crucifixion . quinn is an excellent actor and manages to endow his character with enormous dramatic and psychological depth . its worth watching it just for his performance . vittorio gassman is equally great thanks to his extraordinary work as sahek , a convicted christian who helps barabbas to overcome his spiritual crisis . okay , sets and costumes are a far cry from the quality and priceyness of " quo vadis " or " ben hur " , but still satisfy and give the film a classic epic scent . the soundtrack is ordinary .

in 1971 , after the success of a tv movie named the city , where quinn played mayor thomas jefferson alcala , he starred in the single - season abc television series entitled the man and the city . though the program was filmed in albuquerque , new mexico , the name of the city is not disclosed on the program . his subsequent television appearances were sporadic , among them jesus of nazareth .

as his investigation makes its way through this moral quicksand , quinn also weathers trouble at home . his wife , lola ( sheryl lee ralph ) , is rehearsing with a reggae trio and is just a shade too emasculating to make a man truly comfortable around her . a local beauty ( tyra ferrell ) wants to steal quinn away from her . an old crone ( esther rolle ) who is the island ' s resident witch makes prophecies of dire outcomes . and the carefree maubee himself ( played by robert townsend ) turns up to taunt quinn with his innocence .

on tuesday , netflix released a trailer for the movie , “to the bone , ” staring lily collins as ellen , a woman whose struggle with an eating disorder lands her in a treatment program . the film is loosely based on the experience of its director , marti noxon , who dealt with anorexia herself .

apart from art classes taken in chicago during the 1950s , quinn never attended art school ; nonetheless , taking advantage of books , museums , and amassing a sizable collection , he managed to give himself an effective education in the language of modern art . although quinn remained mostly self - taught , intuitively seeking out and exploring new ideas , there is observable history in his work because he had assiduously studied the modernist masterpieces on view in the galleries of new york , mexico city , paris , and london . when filming on location around the world , quinn was exposed to regional contemporary art styles exhibited at local galleries and studied art history in each area .

animator , cartoonist and illustrator bill plympton is known as " the king of indie animation . " his award - winning short films have highlighted many film festivals and he is the only person to hand - draw an entire animated feature film . on this special evening , plympton presents two new animations , summer bummer and a restoration of the 1921 the flying house , as well as a sneak peek at an upcoming project . he also screens a selection of his classic shorts and discusses his oblique , off - beat style . he received oscar nominations for an early animation , your face , in 1988 and for guard dog in 2005 , while his short film , push comes to shove , won the prestigious palme d ' or at cannes in 1991 .

for his part , john quinn never renounced roger casement’s friendship . he never recanted his admiration nor questioned the sincerity of casement’s sacrifice . he knew the man’s courage and the cause he sacrificed his life for . was casement a patriot or a traitor ? was he one with those in the dublin gpo whose “excess of love bewildered them till they died ? ” was he to be numbered in their song ? john quinn had little doubt what final judgment history and the world would reach . ♦

the 20th century fox summer blockbuster knight and day , which was in theatres recently and stars hollywood a - list actors tom cruise and cameron diaz , is the most recent example of this . in early february , jampro ' s film commission facilitated the shooting of a scene for the film at frenchman ' s cove in portland , which pumped us $ 1 . 35m ( j $ 121m ) into the local economy and created employment for 80 jamaicans . some 100 crew members from overseas worked on the project , resulting in full occupancy levels for hotels and a demand for providers of transportation and catering services throughout the filming of the project

oscar - nominated director lucy walker set out to make " a visual haiku about cherry blossoms " in japan but changed her plans radically following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the country on march 11 , 2011 . taken with the cherry blossom ' s beauty and ability to symbolize the ephemeral quality of life , walker links the disaster with the power of japan ' s most beloved flower to heal and inspire in this stunning visual poem . opening with a long clip of jaw - dropping footage of the tsunami , the film shows water sweeping houses and buildings along like toys , lifting up cars and swallowing people . interviews with survivors are framed by the metaphor of cherry blossoms , a symbol deep in japanese culture that suggests rebirth . 2012 academy award nominee , best documentary short ; winner , jury prize in short film , non - fiction , 2012 sundance film festival .

quinn ' s job is to maintain the peace in a tiny country whose income depends largely on the self - absorbed concerns of people who stay one or two weeks and are mostly worried about whether it ' s going to rain .

the memorial included film clips of johnny ' s life and career ( note to nesn : what was with the commercial in the middle of one of them ? ) , the players leaving roses at a huge number six in the dirt at shortstop , and at the end , with the music of " field of dreams " playing in the background , the current and former players went to a newly - painted yellow pesky pole and signed it with markers .

washington plays xavier quinn , the chief of police in a jamaica - esque town ( although filmed there , the locale is never specified ) . when a well - known white businessman is found gruesomely murdered , cross finds himself in the middle of strong political forces pitting the haves against the have - nots , with strong undercurrents of the black and white tensions that are deeply embedded in the town ' s history . the prime suspect is quickly determined to be the town ' s favorite local career criminal , maubee , who also happens to be quinn ' s childhood friend . the race is on to solve the mystery , amidst exotic scenery and driving reggae music .

no amount of 4 / 4 reviews by roger ebert calling it one of the best films of the year could do the mighty quinn justice or keep it in the cinephile consciousness it seems . denzel and m . emmett walsh , it ' s the kind of unlikely headlining pair that you certainly wouldn ' t see today and really sums up where ebert ' s train of thought was heading when he compared it to the classic capers from warner brothers and referenced greenstreet and lorre , a combination of great character actors and talented star on the rise . it ' s all go from start to finish and denzel is front and centre , charming his way throughout . it really shouldn ' t be overlooked that this is what hampton fancher did after blade runner either . i ' ve had a really good time with this film twice now and can ' t recommend it enough for those looking for a fun but not cozy murder mystery thriller .

art critic donald kuspit , explains , " examining quinn ' s many expressions of creativity togetherhis art and actingwe can see that he was a creative genius . . . " [ 11 ]

having been an anthony quinn fan for many years , i came across this video recently and rented it . i wasn ' t sure what to expect , but was pleasantly surprised to see quite a different performance from quinn . while he had moments of gruffness , for the most part he tackled this role as the confused , tormented barrabas with a great deal of inner work . the most impressive moments where when his face reflected the conflicts of belief , choice , and commitment . as one of the most famous individuals in history it was an imaginative characterization of barrabas , much like the other enigmatic individual in christianity - judas - as characterized by ian mcshane in jesus of nazareth ( 1977 ) . wonderful music score , and cinematography . notice especially the care given to the staging of the scourging of jesus in the beginning of the film - silence except for heaven ' s angels screaming in anguish . breathtaking .

wolfhard gasch , general manger of the jamaica palace hotel , indicated that the increased level of occupancy translates into more work for the hotel staff . he explained that during slow periods , some staff members are assigned as few as two work days , but the advent of a film project can increase their time on the job to five or six days during a week .

cast : denzel washington ( xavier quinn ) , robert townsend ( maubee ) , james fox ( elgin ) , mimi rogers ( hadley elgin ) , m . emmet walsh ( miller ) .

antonio rodolfo quinn oaxaca ( april 21 , 1915 june 3 , 2001 ) , more commonly known as anthony quinn , was a mexican american actor , as well as a painter and writer . he starred in numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful films , including la strada , the guns of navarone , lawrence of arabia , zorba the greek , guns for san sebastian , the message and lion of the desert . he won the academy award for best supporting actor twice : for viva zapata ! in 1952 and lust for life in 1956 .

when he was six years old , quinn attended a catholic church ( even thinking he wanted to become a priest ) . at age eleven , however , he joined the pentecostals in the international church of the foursquare gospel ( the pentecostal followers of aimee semple mcpherson ) . [ 5 ] for a time he played in the church ' s band and was an apprentice preacher with the renowned evangelist . " i have known most of the great actresses of my time , and not one of them could touch her , " quinn once said of the spellbinding mcpherson , whom he credited with inspiring zorba ' s gesture of the dramatically outstretched hand .

agaram ( english : the first letter of the tamil alphabet ) is a 2007 indian tamil action film written and directed by t. nagarajan , who had earlier directed the 1997 film aravindhan starring sarath kumar .

it stars nandha of mounam pesiyadhe and punnagai poove fame and newcomer archana in the lead roles , with biju menon portraying the role of the antagonist , and vivek , seetha and raj kapoor among others in supporting roles .

despite being announced shortly after nandha 's debut in 2002 , the film 's release was delayed and eventually released on 16 february 2007 , failing at the box office as it was released at the same time as ameer 's award-winning film paruthiveeran .

when you step into films like jithan 2 , you don’t quite expect to get blown away . you already know , at least on evidence from the trailer , that the film will only be so - so in aspects like technical finesse , storytelling subtlety , and acting prowess . what you desperately hope to see , however , is at least an attempt at good cinema , some proof that a few minds have deliberated over the film . there’s nothing of the sort in jithan 2 , which interestingly enough bears no connection with jithan , except that the hero ( jithan ramesh ) is retained and he is called surya .

a tamil hyperlink thriller with an excellent first half and a second half which is almost as good but a bit weighed down by the usual tamil commercial film tropes . some of the links are a bit far - fetched but convincing enough and the action scenes are not as over the top as usual commercial films in tamil either but the romantic track was really pushing the limits . while on the whole , it is an excellent thriller giving insight into a lot of social problems it is also at the edge of being preachy , commercial ( commercial film in tamil definitely means going down in quality ) etc although not exactly being those things .

there’s plenty to roll your eyes about in jithan 2 . surya’s dad , whose death is almost a parody , tells him as he’s dying that his dream is to buy a house . you’re dying a sudden death , and you say that ? everybody , i repeat , everybody , talks to the audience in asides . there isn’t much by way of logic either . in one scene , characters drink during the night , but are subsequently shown dancing in the day . the ghost , a woman ( srushti dange ) , suddenly , for no reason , warms up to surya . when surya gets unhinged mentally , it is cured when a tennis ball hits him squarely on the head . but i suppose all this can be forgiven in a film whose ghost is so bored in the bungalow that it is shown dancing alone to a song in taal . i wish i were making this up , but i’m not . rahman apparently is so good now that he can make even grief - stricken ghosts dance .

, i ' ve felt that he was a promising actor who just needed a few more good breaks . and though he has only acted in soft movies like

since then , i ' ve felt that he would be able to carry action roles successfully when given the chance .

proves me wrong . nandha is unable to rescue the otherwise - familiar movie about a common man taking on a powerful rowdy .

thiru ( nandha ) leads a happy life with his mother ( seetha ) , sister and grandmother . a misunderstanding during election time leads to thiru bashing up the brother of the city ' s all - powerful

, varma ( biju menon ) . an enraged varma is ready to kill thiru but the politician ( ilavarasu ) who is planning to win the election with varma ' s help , asks him to wait until the elections are done , to have his revenge . so varma agrees to wait and lets thiru know in no uncertain terms that his days are numbered . but when the time comes , thiru finally decides to fight back .

initially has a protagonist who runs away from trouble instead of going around looking for it . nandha ' s backing down when the bad guys want to sticks posters on the walls , is a nice move that makes him a down - to - earth - and hence , more believable - hero . but it doesn ' t last long . once he is pushed a little more , he turns into a regular hero with a cinematic fight sequence where he single - handedly takes on a number of goons . this turnaround is a little disappointing and gives us an idea about exactly where the movie is going .

in a movie like this , where a common man decides to go up against someone more powerful than him , the hero does need to undergo some troubles to earn our sympathy and get us on his side . the director of

has understood this but doesn ' t know where to stop and overdoes it . as biju menon ' s men keep torturing nandha and his family , the troubles the family undergoes cross the line from earning our sympathy to feeling gratuitous . since its very clear that nandha will clash with varma at some point , the troubles that varma ' s goons put him through is essentially buildup and it feels needlessly stretched and tests our patience .

there are a few attempts ( like his visit to biju menon to ask for his forgiveness for beating up his brother and his agreeing to run away ) to once again make nandha a believable hero . but since we know nandha can ' t be pushed too much and knows to fight , these attempts don ' t work as well as before . but the director does succeed in creating a sense of dread as the deadline ( in a very literal sense ! ) nears for biju menon to kill nandha .

the movie gets some much - needed energy as nandha decides to go after biju menon . but nandha is unable to bring to the table , what is needed to successfully carry off the role of the angry young man . his challenge to biju menon , which should have been a rousing scene that energizes the viewer , is delivered weakly ( even seetha ' s inspiring speech to him before this scene is more energetic and has more impact ) and is far from being the strong shot of adrenaline that the movie needs after the downbeat happenings so far . his plans show some thought rather than relying on simply brawn but most of them are simply too convenient and hence , fail to excite us .

nandha is able to fight convincingly but his body language and voice let him down . he lacks the screen presence and charisma to carry the viewer along in scenes where he clashes with biju menon . hardeep singh is barely on screen for enough time for the viewer to even get an opinion about her . and she manages to participate in a vulgar romance in that time too ! biju menon tries hard but isn ' t able to convey the terror that would be instilled by a rowdy of his nature . vivek , seen after a long time , has a couple of funny routines while ilavarasu has a few funny lines inspite of being a bad guy .
