You will be hooked from the beginning

In almost every instance where I have read a book and then seen the movie I have ALWAYS found things that I hate in the movie because they omitted something vital or completely changed things around but Jesse Stone movies are the exception. Tom Selleck is stellar and he does a magnificent job of mixing Jesse's venerability and tough and gruff attitude into his amazing performance. This movie is definitely a must see. I would recommend that this particular movie, Night Passage be watched before any of the others within the series because shows how and why Jesse came to Paradise.

Big Jesse Stone fan

This review is from: Jesse Stone: Night Passage (DVD) Wife and I are very glad we bought the series. This shows just how good Tom Selleck is. No wonder he is on Blue Bloods

Classic TV

I recently got to watch Night Passage on TV and truly enjoyed it. It has a simple yet interesting detective storyline and nice strong characters (Selleck is perfect in the Stone's role, believably flawed as a womanizing drunk), and an allover simple "classic" timeless feel to it in the style of many British TV miniseries or films - and that's a real compliment! (since I believe the British are the best at producing quality work for television.) Well done!

Something Done Well

John Updike famously said, "(Ted Williams is the classic ballplayer of the game on a hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill." That's how I feel about Jesse Stone, another Californian transplanted to New England. Ted Williams didn't pay much attention to fielding, but what he did pay attention to, he did very well. The "Jesse Stone" movies don't do everything well, but when it comes to producing character-driven, moody, exquisitely paced, hard-boiled entertainment, they do very well. One of my favorite aspects of "Night Passage is how it takes the time to tell the story well. The relationship between Boomer and Jesse is presented to us patiently and effectively. Also, "Night Passage" pays attention to detail. One of my favorite moments in the movie is when one of the characters hands a cup of coffee to another character. Satisfying storytelling.

Jesse Stone: Night Passage

This review is from: Jesse Stone: Night Passage (DVD) The Jesse Stone Film Collection (Stone Cold / Death in Paradise / Night Passage)If you ever liked Tom Selleck, you'll like this series. My 86-year-old father watches these Jesse Stone DVDs over and over. Don't expect high drama or thrilling suspense, but just a good, solid movie for the entire family.

Tom Selleck Movies

This review is from: Jesse Stone: Night Passage (DVD) This is the first in the Jesse Stone series of four movies and is very well done. I would stronly recommend anyone buying this movie buy all the other three as well. My wife and I made a weekend of watching the entire series in order and really enjoyed it... Tom Selleck is great, the acting is well done by others in the cast. High quality for a made for TV series.... If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Awkward Casting/Unexplained Depression

Tom Selleck is 66 now, and close to that during this series. I likehim, but he is too old for this character. At most, it should have beena guy maybe 50 or 55. Although granted, I don't know how old thecharacter is in the book series.They never tell us why he is so depressed, and why he started drinking.I like a little mystery, but at some point, you have to let us knowwhat the hell is going on, or we can't empathize with the character.O.K., L.A. cops drink. But they can still have a personality.If I met a guy who gave one word answers, and answered questions withanother question, I would want to punch him. Either Selleck isoverdoing this stoicism, or the Director is.As far as girls 30 and 40 years younger, throwing themselves at him, Isuppose it's possible. He's tall, rugged, and mysterious, but the guyis a total loser. Rather than have people constantly ask if his ladyfriends are too young for him, wny not just make the character a littleyounger?Having said all that, I do like the atmosphere, the characterdevelopment of other characters, some of the dialogue, and the plotline. It just could have been so much better, with more background onthe main character, and a younger actor, for believability.

IntroducingJesse

This review is from: Jesse Stone: Night Passage (DVD) This is Jesse Stone's introduction to Paradise. As a lover of the Jesse Stone series, I had not seen this before. It's good and sets the stage for everything that follows. If you are a Jesse Stone fan, you'll want to see how it began.

Jesse Stone Series

This review is from: Jesse Stone: Night Passage (DVD) I really enjoy the Jesse Stone series starring Tom Selleck. I have the whole series and have enjoyed the character development. My only complaint is that there is little action and a lot of whispy music between little dialogue. In great measure, that is intentional because that enhances the same feeling about the Jesse Stone character.I recommend the whole series and can't wait for more. But, don't expect new releases to come along quickly, Selleck has other irons in the fire, and these are low-budget project films.
