Review of Jesse Stone: Stone Cold

Just watched this on DVD. Along with 12 Mile Road, this is some of Selleck's best recent work. He supposedly has a new TNT western in development based on L'Amour but I haven't heard anything about it for 2 years. Stone Cold is an adaptation of Robert Parker's new series about character Jesse Stone. Stone, as played by Selleck, is a very appealing character and I hope Tom will make a few more telefilms based on this series. Well done thriller in the old Columbo mold of "we know who the killer is, how will the cops catch him/her?" A few surprises along the way, some good Parkeresque dialogue, Selleck in an appealing performance with excellent support (especially Mimi Rogers) and a few crowd pleasing scenes, ie the arrest in the high school bathroom and the subsequent rhubarb in the police station. What more could you ask? (A sequel to Quigley Down Under? A feature film of Magnum PI? Okay, but what else?) Great TV night flick.
