... View MoreI suppose that's a ridiculous thing to say after what, 9 or 10 films, but you see one Jesse Stone movie, and you want to see others.I'm a Tom Selleck fan, but as I've written in other reviews, I don't feel this is quite the role for him. He's too one-note. But I do think Selleck, as the main force behind this series, does a wonderful job. Everything is top drawer - the cast, the commitment, the writing, the photography.And Jesse is an interesting guy, if depressed. The beginning of this particular film was very touching.This was an excellent episode, maybe the best, as Jesse takes a consultant job in Boston and investigates some serial killings. They have the killer in custody, but he will only admit guilt to the first three, not the fourth. The fourth is identical to the others, and there were details not released to the press.Jesse also takes on the cause of a young girl in Paradise whose mother is an alcoholic.Jesse's loneliness, as always, is palpable, as he re-approaches Thelma (Gloria Reuben), only to find she's seeing someone.Where Selleck gains some traction with this role is with whatever humor there is - there we see a flash of the charm that made him a star. He's always likable, and you're always on his side. Those are two of his gifts - while I think there's more to this character than he can bring, he makes it work for the audience.Terrific episode.
... View MoreSome might consider this to be a spoiler so reader be aware.I was so eager to see this movie & was really startled at how slow & dry the beginning was HOWEVER it was necessary to set the tone & put the viewer in the same proverbial boat with Jesse. It was very clever & made me start feeling antsy for the action the same as the character. Well done... very well done. This story had layers & depth. This story had some major ups & downs & Jesse continues to struggle which makes him flawed & so very lovable. Love Steve.I DVR-ed this movie & have watched it multiple times. I will be at the store the day this comes out on video (I HOPE for Christmas). I can't get enough of Jesse Stone. Tom Selleck gives a brilliant performance. I believe Robert B. Parker would be very pleased & they've stayed true to the character.I CAN NOT WAIT for the next one! Good job Hallmark & thank you for giving Jesse Stone a well deserved & perfectly executed home. The Jesse Stone series of movies is my favorite. You gained a loyal viewer from this fan.
... View MoreI wasn't sure Hallmark could pull off a non-censored Jesse Stone (the ones repeated from CBS had the occasional editing), but they did. The story was unhurried, but that is to be expected of all the Jesse Stone tales. Tom Selleck and the Brandmans have continued the themes started years ago by Robert Parker. Tom Selleck is still at his best, and the supporting characters are great. And Steve (Ned the Dog) was wonderful. I'm really glad to have Jesse Stone back. We folks who don't fit the commercial demographic (we're the ones that like Longmire, too) still like quality television. But I also hope the producers get hold of a couple of the other Jesse Stone books, as they would make great episodes.
... View MoreI like the Jesse Stone movies probably because I was a fan of the novels: heavy on dialogue, sparse on description. Selleck as writer/collaborator maintained that balance. I don't like the dropping of characters from film to film but that may be because the films are so sporadic and actors need to eat. This entry is slow moving and focuses on Jesse being dissatisfied with the way the "last" victim of a serial killer was put to rest. Jesse battles his usual demons—drink, loneliness, emptiness—and doggedly pursues leads with the aid of a certain disreputable boxing promoter. There are a few toss away scenes with Luke Perry, William Devane, and Kohl Sudduth but that's about it. There is a minor subplot featuring Mackenzie Foy as a troubled teen. But the heart of the story is that the last victim, Mavis, was butchered while she was still alive and Jesse knows even though the serial killings have stopped, Luke Perry wasn't the murderer. In the end you won't be surprised to find out who the guilty party is, just follow the "scrubbed" file to the obvious end. Not the most satisfying film of the series. I did like Steve the dog.
