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 |

Tom Selleck at his best... |
The second of a series we recently acquired, Death in Paradise is a great find because Tom Selleck is one of our favorite actors and we own the entire Magnum PI collection. In this series a more mature but still incredibly handsome Tom Selleck plays the character of the Chief of Police of a small New England town called Paradise, Massachusetts.
Jesse Stone is a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left life in the big city and is now underemployed, but still doing service to the community, which he loves. He is divorced from the "only woman he is able to love" and battles against alcoholism.
While life in Paradise is slow and for the most part the Chief of Police only gives out traffic or parking tickets, a series of murders take place, and in this episode a young student is murdered and a wife is battered by her alcoholic husband.
Don't miss it, the pace is slow but introspective, the plot is deep and intelligent, and you are left with feeling admiration for a man that has done wrong things while always attempting to do what is right!

Tom Selleck is Great |
|
I love Tom Selleck in this role. He has the Stone character down really well. Even though the character in the book is supposed to be much younger, I can't imagine anyone but Selleck in this role. He makes an alcoholic, ex-LAPD cop turned police chief the kind of police chief I would want in my city. |

Selleck Stone series |
|
This is a perfect role for Tom Selleck. A little rough around the edges but charming all the same. It is a great mystery entertainment type show with Tom as a small town police chief. People are not sure about his motives for taking the job but gradually buy in to his way of running the department and investigations |

Hardcore Magnum P.I. |
Jesse Stone: Death In Paradise is a suspenseful, haunting, compelling action mystery. Tom Selleck is tough and almost merciless on crime in the small town of Paradise. Divorced and borderline alcoholic, Jesse is faced with solving the murder of a fourteen year-old problem teen girl. "Billie" haunts the police chief in very scary dreams.
Death In Paradise is graphic. Billie is referred to as "the town pump." Not much is held back except for an implied sex scene between Stone and a love interest. This makes the movie realistic and made for those who like their action and story hardcore.
Highly recommended. |
