Product Description
SMALL-TOWN POLICE CHIEF JESSE STONE ALMOST LOSES HIS JOB AFTER THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF HIS CLOSE FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, THE CAPTAIN.
Amazon.com
Tom Selleck returns to the role of Jesse Stone, the troubled but uncompromising police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts in Jesse Stone: Thin Ice. The fifth made-for-television movie in the Stone series, and the first not directly adapted from a specific novel by Robert B. Parker, the engrossing Thin Ice is an apt title for a story that finds a pair of investigations and Stone's relationship with Paradise's town council looking perilous. Wounded during a murderous attempt on Captain Healy (Stephen McHattie) of the Massachusetts State Police, Stone sets out to find the would-be killer against the wishes of Internal Affairs, the Paradise council, and Healy himself. Meanwhile, a woman (Camryn Manheim) whose newborn baby was stolen from her and presumed dead years ago appeals for help from a skeptical Stone. The chief's usual problems with alcohol and the breakup of his marriage continue to haunt him, too. But none of that lessens Stone's determination to follow his own moral code as he takes on his superiors' shady ethics, a would-be killer, and a possible kidnapper. Selleck, the show's co-writer and executive producer, is much older than Parker's original character. But he certainly captures the soul and rhythms of the quintessential Parker hero, and brings a fitting, gruff decency to the role. Kathy Baker is very good as one of the two officers under Stone's command (Kohl Sudduth is quirky, good fun as the other cop). William Devane is a grizzled cipher as Stone's chain-smoking shrink, and Leslie Hope provides a film noir edge as Stone's cynical lover, a cop with the rather improbable name of Sidney Greenstreet. --Tom Keogh

I love Tom Selleck. It took me awhile to get used to the "darker character" he plays in the Jesse Stone movies, but I love them. I just ordered three more of the Jesse Stone movies today!

They don't even deserve one star! They SHAFTED me! I never recieved my DVD and they wouldn't reply to any of the 4 e-mails I sent them. I eventually had to file a claim and Amazon investigated them & refunded my money. Amazon is GREAT! Good Books Quick ISN'T!! I would never order from them again. I guess high ratings don't really mean anything!

OK, I watched this film only because I am a Robert Parker fan. Wowser- I really enjoyed it. Who'd a thunk that Tom Selleck could really steal the show? He is the antithesis of what I would think of as a Parker man. But, oh, how wrong I was.
Selleck or Jesse as he likes to be known, has come to Paradise, Massachusetts after a tough time in California. He comes to this small town and becomes their sheriff. Paradise, as it turns out, is a place that attracts crime. This time a mother comes looking for her missing son. He was born seven years ago and taken the day of his birth. She is sure he is still alive, and someone sent her a note saying 'your son is loved'. Jesse is not keen on taking up this case but one of his staff, played by Kathy Baker, takes it on, on her own time. The town fathers are not happy with Jesse, not enough speeding tickets, so his job is on the line. He is helping a fellow cop, chief of the state's homicide bureau, when both are shot. This is another mystery to undertake. But, it seems Jesse is up to all challenges, and he meets them head on.
A lot of humor, some implied sex, danger, and the city of Boston is featured. A good film and now I may be hooked into watching the series. Gotta know what some of the references in past shows are all about.
