Must See Movie...

best movie i've ever seen.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Robert B. Parker was a master. Tom Selleck is perfect as Jesse. These movies are well made. But Parker was a dog lover. The ongoing theme of Jesse showing Reggie, the dog, no affection .......is bullshit. Pet the GD dog. Tell him he's a good boy. What the hell is wrong with whoever decided this was a good change from Parker's writing? The movie does Mr. Parker a disservice and the franchise should be ashamed.

I've enjoyed many of the other Jessie Stone movies but I found this one to be lacking in a lot of substance. The plot does not get resolved in any satisfying way, and many of the characters lack depth. Even the storyline between Jessie and his dog does not materialize into anything. It feels like a lot of different parts put loosely together - his past relationship with his ex-wife, his co-workers marital problem, an unrelated string of brutal convenience store robberies, and the towns impending plan for the police department - none of these ideas felt resolved at the end. (except for the convenience store robberies, but this was dealt with in such a straightforward way and the bad guys were never heard from again. I guess they were just bad.) No regrets skipping No Remorse.

The movie is a bad one because the major premise of a series of murders is sidetracked by too many sidebar stories. We really have a promising story here as the killings unfold; unfortunately, too many other stories get in the way.Tom Selleck, who should definitely stick with the far superior Blood Brothers, is a suspended cop now working as a consultant. His theory on the murders is way out despite the fact that he is proved correct.Kathy Baker, looking much older and in some scenes like Hillary Clinton, plays a lady police officer with plenty of problems of her own. In addition, we have to cope with a series of robberies and a young female cashier with hangups as well. Too much was attempted here and it just doesn't work.

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.
