Paradise, Mass. Police Chief Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) has just been involved in a highly-publicized shoot-out that left his friend, State Homicide Commander Healy (Stephen McHattie), seriously wounded. As a result, the Boston Police Department's Internal Affairs division launches an investigation against Chief Stone, causing the dedicated lawman to be away from Paradise for extended periods of time and drawing unwanted attention from the Town Council. When Chief Stone fires the Paradise Police Department's most enthusiastic ticket-writer, the city's main source of revenue takes a serious hit. His status with the Town Council already faltering, the chief puts his own job in serious jeopardy by agreeing to help a celebrated out-of-towner search for her missing child. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Tedious was the word that came to mind as I watched scene after scene drag on . . . and on . . . and on.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
A TV-movie that feels like TV and replaces tense scenic construction with talk and reaction shots instead of focusing on the action.

The film starts off with a bang as Stone and Captain Healy get shot during a rainy stakeout in Boston. When he gets back to Paradise, Stone then has to answer to the city council concerning his firing of D'Angelo and to IAB about the violence and multiple shootings in the town. All while solving a 7-year old kidnapping and trying to figure out the shooting that almost killed him and the captain. The film retains its aggressive demeanor towards the crimes and especially the future of Stone, who is facing suspension from the city council.
