The Mighty Quinnbased on the 1971 pulp novel by AHZ Carr Find Maubeebut re-emerged with a title excerpted from a Bob Dylan song, it wouldn’t be a much-recommended murder mystery without the two-time Oscar-winning actor – despite the script from Blade Runner writer Hampton Fancher, the ski slope is quite pedestrian.

As a result, Washington combines muscle with charm, complacent power with anxiety in the head, and a calculated sense of island dynamics.

West story is a subversive reminder that racial tensions are nothing new in America. But it’s also an upbeat, colorful, catchy musical that portrays Romeo and Juliet as a mid-’50s confrontation between a white street gang and a Puerto Rican gang in New York City.
