Fans of the series and of Selleck should like this film. The enforced idleness in his absence as chief have put a lot of temptation to return to his drinking ways. These two hour Jesse Stone movies give Tom Selleck a chance to get into his deeply flawed alcoholic character. He could have used a little help, but Kathy Baker and Kohl Sudduth just aren't ready to return. One problem Selleck does have is that he IS the Paradise police because the others quit when he left and the two deceased were the previous force. They think it's local and personal and it turns out it is. In fact Selleck who is brought back as chief thinks it's not terrorism and so does Stephen McHattie from the Massachusetts State Police homicide squad. Well in this episode the new chief and another officer are killed in a most grisly fashion, a bomb thrown under their police car blows them up. She wishes something exciting would happen and knows exactly what they need: a visit from her sophisticated, much-traveled Uncle Charlie Oakley, her mothers younger brother. In that previous film Tom Selleck who steps on a lot of toes in the small ocean town of Paradise, Massachusetts got fired as police chief and the snot nose son-in-law of one of the town councilmembers took his job. Charlotte 'Charlie' Newton is bored with her quiet life at home with her parents and younger sister. Part of the problem is that you really would have to see the previous film to get into what is going on here. This latest in the Jesse Stone series contains little suspense as the only new character introduced in the anthology turns out to be the perpetrator or at least one of them.
