Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough 'Stone Cold' was filmed first (2005), you might like to watch 'Night Passage' (2006) first as it is the prequel and shows Jesse's arrival in Paradise. It also makes more sense plot-wise that way around.
- GoofsThe bathroom Bo is cornered in is clearly a women's bathroom. There are no urinals and as he knocks open the doors to the stalls, a tampon dispenser can clearly be seen on the wall.
- Quotes
Abby Taylor: [to Jessie Stone] Larry, Curly, and Moe want to talk with you.
Comden: On behalf of the town council, Jim, and Carter, and I thought we ought to get brought up to speed on things.
Hansen: So, what's really going on?
Chief Jesse Stone: We have two killings. We're not sure whether it's the same weapon or weapons.
Hansen: That's all you know?
Chief Jesse Stone: Correct.
Hansen: You don't have any clues, nothing?
Chief Jesse Stone: Correct.
Jim Burns: Well, hell.
Comden: I told you he wasn't a talker.
Hansen: So what do we tell the press?
Chief Jesse Stone: I like "no comment."
Comden: Well, what is it you have your officers doing over at the high school?
Hansen: Maybe you could allocate your personnel a little better.
Jim Burns: Damn it, don't you talk?
Chief Jesse Stone: Only when I have something to say.
Hansen: Couldn't we get this thing resolved quicker with F.B.I. or state help?
Chief Jesse Stone: The F.B.I. and state police bring the national media. You won't like this town when they're through with it.
Hansen: Look, we think you should take all the resources you have and concentrate on the killings.
Chief Jesse Stone: I'm a cop. I've been a cop for a long time. I'm good at it. I know how to do this. You don't.
Jim Burns: Damn it, we can fire you.
Chief Jesse Stone: You can. But you can't tell me what to do.

- ConnectionsFollowed by Jesse Stone: Night Passage (2006)
"Stone Cold' is a surprisingly good thriller, with an efficient direction, cold but beautiful cinematography and excellent screenplay with great lines, situations and characters. The most impressive is that the identities of the killers are disclosed in the very beginning of the film and they do not have a motive for their insane behavior. This simple, low paced and realistic thriller is centered in the dark, flawed and silent character of Jesse Stone, magnificently performed by Tom Selleck. Jesse is a suffered man with a past in Los Angeles, cynical, amoral, with drinking problems, that does not express his real emotions, but with a warm heart and great sense of justice. Mimi Rogers is also amazing in the role of the cynical lawyer Rita Fiore, and in spite of a minor participation, she steals the scenes that she participates. The support cast is stunning and it is impossible and unfair to highlight only a name, since the individual and collective performances are outstanding. This made-for-TV movie is better and better than many feature films. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Crimes no Paraíso" ("Crimes in the Paradise")
