I'm a fan of the Hercule Poirot, Mrs. Marple, Inspector Lynley mysteries these are just as fine - just superb. Selleck is superb at playing so low key a character, a man so hurt and humbled, on a wholly different plane than he had previously lived, and trying to hold off succumbing to an addiction while holding down a very responsible position. His humility really seems the key to his efforts to help those similarly humbled by crime.

Each of these is a wonderful moody mystery, with a wonderful setting, fascinating plot, aptly non-show-offy dialogue, good supporting cast, with some of the greatest acting by Selleck you'll see in this country. It's VERY worthwhile to rent - better to buy. You'll be very very happy with the result.

This review is from: Jesse Stone 4-pack DVD Bundle (Stone Cold / Night Passage / Death in Paradise / Sea Change) (DVD)

As written by Robert B. Parker, Jesse Stone is not always admirable in his actions. He still has to fight the battle with booze, which he so clearly enjoys. As his advisor/shrink, William DeVane cuts him no slack and does him no favors. Having had an alcoholic brother who relapsed so many times that one of those had to become his last, I see Stone fight the battle and see similarities to my brother such that it appears inevitable that Stone will eventually meet the same bad end.
Further, Stone allows himself to be controlled by a manipulative ex-wife who, beyond her looks, does not appear to have sufficient redeeming qualities to put up with her. He allows her to keep him from going on with his life by the vague and slim promise of their possibly getting back together.

Selleck has done a superb job of showing us that Stone is a complex character, neither hero nor anti-hero. Some of the stories rely too heavily upon his "cop-instincts" for smelling out bad guys when insufficient information is given. I had read all of the books from which these movies were made and a comprehensive treatment of the content of the books would have taken 3-4 hours. I, for one, would not have minded the full treatment.

As made for TV movies go, these are about as good as you will find.

They are well written, well acted dramas with excellent supporting characters and best of all, the perfect leading man in Tom Selleck. I highly recommend for anyone who wants their whodunits with a little substance. A must for any Tom Selleck fan - he is like a fine wine that just improves with age.
