Goofs:

Continuity: In the second scene of the movie where Jesse Stone is driving down the highway, you see him drinking from a coffee cup. He is supposed to be in the USA, but the colors and design on the cup are clearly Tim Hortons, which at the time this movie was made, only had stores in Canada. The design has since changed on the cups, but the design and color scheme at the time are exactly as they appear on his cup.

Quotes:

Jesse Stone: If you come near this woman again, if anything happens to her, or her kids, no matter what, no matter whose fault it is, I will kick you around this town until you look like roadkill. And if you're annoying, like you were today, I just might shoot you.

Movie Connections:

Followed by Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise (2006) (TV)

Great movie!

I saw this on television and was just blown away by its entertainment. Unlike some of Tom Selleck's other films, this doesn't have an enormous amount of action, but it is fun. It has a great mystery story behind it and very intense drama. Nearly heart-breaking.

Naturally, we all like Tom Selleck's character the best. His character is just so hilarious, but not at the point where he would be considered a comedic character. I love his smart-alec comments and lines.

Stephan Baldwin co-stars in this movie and he did a great job at his role. And I think I recognized one of the others as Saul Rubinek. Although I'm not sure yet.

Overall, a great mystery/cop movie. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of Tom Selleck.
