Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Prismark10 Jesse Stone our dour detective with a fondness for drink and seeing his shrink is back. So more long stares, more slow jazz music and every other cliché to remind the audience that this is not the high adrenaline Magnum but Tom Selleck the actor. However talking slowly and looking miserable does not make you an acting great.Jesse Stone is suspended by Paradise town council itself looking like a rather corrupt bunch. This leaves Suitcase in temporary charge who is investigating a hold up of a convenience store. The state homicide boss, Captain Healy hires him as a consultant in the hunt for a suspected serial killer who as it turns out may be the secretary of the local boxing promoter and gangster Gino Fish played by William Sandler and maybe the more interesting character in the cast.You can tell Stone is a great detective because he follows Fish's secretary and suddenly discovers that he has ended up in the gay area of town. It looks like its the first time he has ever realised there is a gay quarter!Talking about sloppy writing I never did figure out how they managed to solve the general store subplot so conveniently.

SanteeFats 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.

shorvath55 I watched this movie out of curiosity to see what else could Tom Selleck do beside the old Hawaii Private Eye series of the past decades. Sadly I was and felt very disappointed with a slow moving and nowhere to go no point melodrama. Given the facts about the story line, I would not be surprised if any other actor could have done better, but definitely not even better! I set through the boring dialogs and watched many meaningless streams of small events that were somehow tie up the story, but I failed to see any of them! My recommendation is for you to try another boring movie with more action and meaningless dialogs that might make you feel better than this one made me feel for wasting my money on the rental, plus the time I wasted watching this crap production! I let you decide which one! Steve H. from Chicago.

markmccracken I have read all the novels and have seen all the movies with Tom Selleck. He will always be remembered as Magnum P.I., but Jesse Stone is his very best work. If you are looking for loads of action No Remorse will not fit the bill. It has excellent characters, very smart dialog and great performances. I am tired of reading how this series is slow. I don't want car chases and super human cops kicking down doors. Tom Selleck's Jesse is flawed, human and holding on for dear life. The supporting case is first rate, William Devane, Saul Rubinek (whose character is very much wounded like Jesse), Stephen McHattie as the State Homicide Captain, Kathy Baker as Rose and Kohn Sudduth as Luther are all excellent, nothing blazing, but the perfect touch by each in support of Tom Selleck. Another under rated performance is William Saddler as Gino Fish, his cat and mouse game with Jesse is always interesting to watch. In No Remorse, Gino lets his his guard down ever so slightly to Jesse, SLIGHTLY, their scenes together are superb. I look forward to Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone, is in many ways the movies characterizations are superior to the novels. That is very hard to do. In No Remorse Jesse is still suspended as Paradise Police Chief, he is drinking heavily. There is a crime wave in town and Luther and Rose are prohibited from talking to Jesse. Capt Healy calls on Jesse for help with apparent serial killer in Boston. The dialog and performances are excellent and my only disappointment was the ending. Of course the ending is the set up for the next Jesse Stone movie Innocents Lost. My final note is that this web site does not make note of this production. My understanding is that production is complete and another movie is being readied for filming.
