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

There's no one to compare to Tom Sellec. I hope this is not the last in this series. I have enjoyed the Jesse Stone videos.

We get a deeper insight into how 'our neighbor' and police chief Jesse Stone operates in his life and his responsibilities for community thanks to Tom Selleck's portrayals. The humanness and flaws of Stone tell us that though he is not larger than life - he is the stand-up guy who will face up to and take on the sometimes extraordinary events and incidents that can come our way. Our family and friends completely enjoy this series. It is superb by any measure.

There is a "feel" for these Jesse Stone dramas that has to do with good story, location, pace, good cast, and realism. This one has the "feel." I have enjoyed several times.

We have tried to keep up with the Jesse Stone DVD movies. They are extremely entertaining. I would recommend them to anyone who has enjoyed Tom Selleck in the past.

I hope we don't have to wait as long for the next in series, as I did this one.
