Fun Caribbean-set murder mystery, an early vehicle for Denzel Washington who, of course, is excellent. The details of the mystery a bit too complex to detail here, but the main attraction is the local flavor, from the lovely scenery to the people, especially Robert Townsend as the elusive Maubee (wanted for murder) and Esther Rolle as a witch doctor. It doesn't add up to that much, but the reggae soundtrack is great, and the ending is surprisingly memorable.

Good music, hilarious that Denzel switches between Patois and an American accent every other line. Not that serious of a movie.

A solid detective movie, the main reason I would recommend seeing this film is for the vibrant display of Jamaican culture.
