JESSE STONE 3: DEATH IN PARADISE(2006)
This is the third of the Jesse Stone movies, based on
the books written by Robert B. Parker!
These films all star Tom Selleck who is absolutely perfect
in this role!!! Death In Paradise is again a dark movie, as
are all of these movies!
As with most of these movies, this has a couple of story
lines going: A girls body is found in the local lake
and a woman is being abused by her husband! Both of
these stories are really depressing but again still
a great watch! B+
A review from Amazon.com:
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
