The always dependable Tom Selleck returns as Robert B. Parker's small town police chief Jesse Stone in Death in Paradise, the made-for-TV sequel to Stone Cold, his 2005 debut as the character. Stone is a grittier, more human (and vulnerable) role than the one that made Selleck famous (playboy detective Thomas Magnum of Magnum, P.I.), but his tenacity and character flaws (a drinking problem and latent feelings for his ex-wife) seem a comfortable fit for the older Selleck. And the mystery itself--which surrounds the death of a young student whose connections to big-city crime--is crisp and convoluted (if not particularly novel), which provides Selleck with enough action and drama to please his longtime fans. William Devane and Gary Basaraba (Boomtown) are among the guest stars, while Viola Davis, Vito Rezza, and Kohl Sudduth return from Stone Cold as Selleck's police officers. Selleck also contributed to the script and co-produced along with director Robert Harmon, who helmed the other Stone films. --Paul Gaita

 Jesse Stone Movie 1st in series June 22, 2009
Jutta Q.
Actually bought this movie for my hubby. We had seen this movie a number of years ago on TV and enjoyed it. It was nice to be able to buy it on DVD. The DVD is high quality and the movie was as enjoyable this tume around as is was when we first watched it.
Excellent writing & credible acting make this a must-watch June 21, 2009

The Jesse Stone movies are not just average police procedurals but truly intelligent & engaging films. Tom Selleck does an excellent job in the title role of police chief Jesse Stone who is still battling some inner issues like his penchant for drinking. By now, Jesse is well-established in the small town of Paradise, MA and even visits a shrink in order to resolve his personal problems.
Each Jesse Stone instalment deals with some sort of crime, and in this movie, the story revolves around the murder of a straight-A student. There might be a link to the Boston mob, and this itself would keep Stone busy, but then he also has to deal with a case of domestic violence in town.
The dialogue is fresh, as it is throughout the series, and Tom Selleck is magnetic in his portrayal of the complex police chief Stone. This is a well-made police procedural that is high on storytelling and will appeal to fans of the genre. I would recommend watching "Night Passage" first to those who are new to the series, followed by "Stone Cold" and then "Death in Paradise."
Jesse Stone June 11, 2009
Gill (Westfield, NJ)
I've now gotten 4 of the 5 titles(next one slated to ship on 6/18,I think)so far available in this series and they are all terrific. Jesse Stone absolutely fits Selleck like a glove. I especially like the very strong sense of melancholy that seems to envelope this character. With what's gone on his life previously and more recent happenings he's got to really push himself to get on with life. The stories are enormously interesting - not great but they don't have to be the way they are brought to life in these films. Great to see Viola Davis in these and you can see the evolution of her acting leading to the sensational picture-stealing role in "Doubt". Also loved the few but enormously effective scenes between Selleck and William Devane as his shrink(also a recovering alcoholic)- such an easy, natural give and take between those two. The one thing that rankled just a bit is the way the females just want to throw themselves into bed with Jesse but then again, given the apparent competition......
Wonderful series. Hope Selleck and Harmon do many more.
jesse stone - police officer with a difference June 10, 2009
Mary Church (Qld Australia)
Jesse Stone is a very quiet and solemn police officer suffering burn out. He has done a sea-change in his career and moved to a country area to be the local sheriff. He is not anyone's idea of a local sheriff - and that includes himself. The plots are good but tend to be slow moving. What makes this series of movies is the acting and also the incredible scenic and artistic shots that turn up all through this movie. Well worth the effort of watching it.
