Jesse Stone: Thin Ice - 2009

Another enjoyable thriller based on the character in the Jesse Stone books by Robert B. Parker. Chief Stone (Selleck) is wounded after being shot during a stake-out. This well written film is the first not based on an actual novel but it is certainly a great addition to both the books and the earlier films. Exceptional performances by the entire cast. Selleck is definitely well-suited to the role of Chief Stone. Beautiful cinematography and a superb musical score that enhance the story and certainly surpasses many of the made-for-tv films you usually see. As with its predecessors, this one is definitely worth your time. On a side note, although this film could technically stand alone, the earlier "Stone" films would fill in some of the storyline gaps and make this one more enjoyable. It also definitely has a mild cliffhanger conclusion.  (5th in series) ****
