Trivia

Suitcase's statement when he awakes from his coma is not the only connection to Magnum, PI. Sean Young's character responds to Jesse's questions about her car and boat with "Don't I look like a person who could own a car/boat like this?". This was also a common response of Thomas Magnum when people asked if Robin Masters' Ferrari was his.

Great TV Mystery

Tom Sellewck, (Chief Jesse Stone) assumes the role as Police Chief in a small local town in Mass. and finds himself getting bored with talking to his ex-wife and drinking a entire bottle of scotch during the evening while his companion, the dog keeps him company and watches every move Jesse makes. Jesse gets himself involved with a Cold Case of a woman who was killed during a robbery in 1992 and finds out there was a great deal of money involved with this robbery and some big time mob bosses were laundering money. While this investigation is going on, Jesse solves a rape case that happened to a young girl on a schooner in the harbor. There are many twists and turns to this film and it will keep you guessing right to the very end of the film. Great entertaining film with a cast of great actors.
