Jesse Stone: Night Passage
Selleck plays the role of Jesse Stone, a former Los Angeles homicide detective who left California and his ex-wife to become the police chief in a small New England town. Among his many character flaws are his struggles with a drinking problem and lingering feelings for his ex-wife. Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise Co-starring William Devane (TV?s "Knot?s Landing"), the TV movie finds Chief Stone (Selleck) settling into his new life in Paradise when he becomes obsessed with finding the killer of a teenage girl. His quest to solve the murder unearths facts indicating there is more to the girl?s history than originally suspected and the new clues lead him to probe the Boston underworld. DVD Special Features for Jesse Stone: Night Passage Include: Digitally Mastered Audio and Video, Widescreen Presentations, Audio: English, French, Portuguese, Thai, Subtitles: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Thai, Bonus Previews, Closed Captioned
How Tom Selleck's world-weary cop Jesse Stone became the police chief of sleepy Paradise, Mass., is revealed in this engaging prequel to the first made-for-TV Stone feature, Stone Cold (2005). Selleck is once again well cast as the rough-around-the-edges Stone, whose drinking problem gets him ejected from the Los Angeles police force; he soon finds himself the head lawman in a small New England fishing village, where his slow dissolution continues until a routine domestic disturbance case reveals connections to money laundering and murder, with several of the town's most affluent names as possible suspects. Selleck is well-matched by veteran scene stealer Saul Rubinek, and there's good work by Polly Shannon as a city attorney who becomes Stone's romantic interest, and Stephen Baldwin as an ill-tempered local. Fans of author Robert B. Parker (on whose books the Jesse Stone films are based) and Selleck won't be disappointed by this smart thriller. --Paul Gaita

Jesse Stone: Night Passage Reviews
These Jesse Stone movies with Tom Selleck are very well done. Add my 5 stars with the others... My wife and I love them.
I bought this entire series after seeing them via Netflix. All five of them. I would call these films somewhat dark in nature. The supporting cast is superb as is the dialogue. I haven't read the books that were the basis of these films, but I imagine they are very good. I don't usually care too much for the cops and robber type films, but, these are really captivating. The only negative thing I can say is that they are too short, being made for television. Hopefully we will see more of Jesse Stone. This is the best Tom Selleck has ever done, bar none.
I really enjoyed the movie "Night Passage". The stories, although are not violently action packed are very realistic, human, and interesting with some good twists in the "who dun it" plots. They are filmed in beautiful locations, depicting very believable characters. I have purchased all of the Jesse Stone movies and have enjoyed each very much.
I have all of the first five that have come out. I have enjoyed watching all of them. And they all have Tom Selleck in them, big plus...
Jesse Stone: Night Passage
A fan of Tom Selleck since MAGNUM, P.I. days, this is a series that was truly MADE for Selleck. The brooding Jesse Stone, with all his foibles, is excellently portrayed. That said, the character and stories of Jesse Stone grab you from the first. . .and don't let you go. The music too is haunting reverent to the story, adding to the suspense. The supporting cast are also well done, although some deviate from the author's written description, but help bolster Jesse Stone's persona. I LOVE the books but the movies are the added visually bonus that compel the fan to want more.
