Alright, another Jesse Stone movie! I really enjoy them!! Tom Selleck seems to actually live this character. Jesse Stone is the suspended without pay police chief of the small Massachusetts town of Paradise. The town council weenies didn't like how he ran the town's small police force. He ran it to enforce the law (more or less) and they were a lot more worried about the tourists. The state homicide chief hires him as a consultant in an apparent serial killer case. Now the killer is not a serial killer but a soon to be let go lover and secretary of a local drug dealer named Gino Fish. Having a masters in criminal shrinkology this nut case kills the first victim thinking him to be his replacement. He wasn't. The guy goes on to kill two more at random to make it look like a serial killer. Going to Fish Jesse relays some info to him and guess what? the secretary is run over crossing with the light. Saul Rubinek is back as the one time mayor/money launderer. He is now a used car dealer. His character is a sympathetic one even though he is a felon. His ex-wife is played by Krista Allen and she is basically a nympho. She keeps coming on to Jesse but he turns her down every time. Suitcase has been made temporary police chief and while he is a very good cop he does not have the experience to handle the chief's job at this time. As usual in the Stone movies things turn out well. Not that this necessarily a good thing for the bad guys.

score 8/10
