How Tom Selleck's world-weary cop Jesse Stone became the police chief of sleepy Paradise, Mass., is revealed in this engaging prequel to the first made-for-TV Stone feature, Stone Cold (2005). Selleck is once again well cast as the rough-around-the-edges Stone, whose drinking problem gets him ejected from the Los Angeles police force; he soon finds himself the head lawman in a small New England fishing village, where his slow dissolution continues until a routine domestic disturbance case reveals connections to money laundering and murder, with several of the town's most affluent names as possible suspects. Selleck is well-matched by veteran scene stealer Saul Rubinek, and there's good work by Polly Shannon as a city attorney who becomes Stone's romantic interest, and Stephen Baldwin as an ill-tempered local. Fans of author Robert B. Parker (on whose books the Jesse Stone films are based) and Selleck won't be disappointed by this smart thriller. --Paul Gaita

I have all of the first five that have come out. I have enjoyed watching all of them. And they all have Tom Selleck in them, big plus...

Jesse Stone: Night Passage
A fan of Tom Selleck since MAGNUM, P.I. days, this is a series that was truly MADE for Selleck. The brooding Jesse Stone, with all his foibles, is excellently portrayed. That said, the character and stories of Jesse Stone grab you from the first. . .and don't let you go. The music too is haunting reverent to the story, adding to the suspense. The supporting cast are also well done, although some deviate from the author's written description, but help bolster Jesse Stone's persona. I LOVE the books but the movies are the added visually bonus that compel the fan to want more.

Bell Guide (Texas)
This is such a good movie. It kept me glued to the screen and mesmerized. The series are great, I already have the second movie, Stone Cold, and that is just as good. This movie had Tom Selleck in mind for the character and he is perfect.

Fills in the gaps as to how Jesse Stone came to be the Chief of Police in Paradise. Great characters, great roll for Tom Selleck

The Jesse Stone "films", which are really CBS TV two-hour special recurring dramas, have been a big surprise in many ways. The production quality has been very high, the filming locations, in Nova Scotia, standing in for Maine, very scenic and atmospheric, the way in which the pulp genre characters and B-List former stars and character actors have been used has been keenly attuned to the needs of both Robert Parker's style and Tom Selleck's long established screen persona, the scripts have been lean and well crafted, and Tom Selleck has been wonderful, perfect, perhaps, as Jesse Stone. The first two instalments, with Viola Davis, were especially good. The score is wonderful -- is there any way to get that great music on CD?
However, since the exit of actress Viola Davis as Jesse's fellow cop, police station manager and conscience, and the arrival of the very different Kathy Baker, in a similar role, the series has taken a definite turn into late middle aged "Murder She Wrote" torpor. The edginess that made it alluring has waned, the supporting actors have become less notable, and the recurring business about Jesse's drinking, his shrink, his dog, his indifference to being fired from his "last chance" job as chief of police, and the calls from his ex-wife have all become a little more rote, and lifeless.
That said, there are some wonderful pulp genre elements here, and I guess I will keep watching. But they need to take stock and amp it back up a bit. It may be aimed at an older demographic, and that may even include me. But it's getting just a little too stolid, even for aging boomers with an affection for gruff but sensible Tom Selleck in a great third act role of a lifetime.
