Things have gone from bad to worse in Tom Selleck's relationship with his ex-wife 3000 miles away in California and he's starting to drink again. His counselor William Devane says that work is the best therapy because an active mind won't be thinking about those bad things that led one to alcohol abuse. So there are three cold case homicides on the Paradise police blotter. Selleck picks one involving a teller who was taken during a holdup in 1992 and whose body was found in 1994.The bank that was held up was the one Saul Rubinek was the president of and who on the Paradise Town Council was Selleck's biggest booster. Later on in another film Rubinek is arrested when he's found laundering money for the mob in his little small town bank. Selleck in fact goes to prison to visit Rubinek for information. He also visits the victim's family and talks to her sister Rebecca Pidgeon in his quest for justice. That looks like it could get personal as well. She's taking care of her mother who is a stroke patient and needs a lot of care.The second case is a young girl who was raped while on board a millionaire's schooner that is in the town harbor. Ironically there's a lot of sadness tied to both cases and Selleck does what he can control his own desire to drown his own sorrows with what he uncovers.Even though I kind of guessed the solution of the robbery this film was still well done and acted superbly by the ensemble.

The music in "Sea Change" from 2007 I believe is Brahms piano music, and it's lovely and sets the mood beautifully. As with the last Jesse Stone film I saw, the mood is depression.I actually am seeing these out of order -- in the other one I saw, Jesse was off the police force. Here he is the Police Chief and talking to his ex-wife on the phone all the time. Afraid of going back to his alcoholic ways, he consults a psychiatrist (William Devane).He also dives into two cases: an old bank robbery case where a teller was killed, and an alleged rape. The town council isn't crazy about that one because of the tourist trade.I thought the script was very good, as were the production values. Unlike many on this board, I am not sold on Tom Selleck in this role. Yes, he looks weathered. This is a complicated, multilayered role and I don't see the layers in Selleck. I see him being very serious and looking miserable.Also, it plays against the qualities that made him a star, a special presence, charm for days, and a flair for comedy. And let's not forget the dimpled smile. Here he's morose. Frankly, it makes the character kind of boring even though he's obviously very smart.The other major problem for me in this episode was Sean Young, whom I never could stand.The rest of the cast is very good and top-notch: Kathy Baker, Stephen McHattie, William Devane, and Kohl Sudduth.I just wish these movies had a little more spark.

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.

This is the fourth movie based on Robert B. Parker's best selling series of Jesse Stone books. Tom Selleck is once again Stone, the over qualified police chief of the tiny community of Paradise, Massachuesetts. Jesse, with his past and present demons...thoughts of his ex-wife and a bottle of Scotch needing to be emptied, realizes an understandable nightmare coming true: writing parking tickets is just not enough. His current small staff is taxed with one of his officers on maternity leave and one recovering from a near fatal wound. The restless chief immerses himself in the investigation of a case that went cold a dozen years ago. He is certain there is more to the robbery and murder of a bank teller that wasn't investigated very well. But there is a current case that needs attention; a young woman claims that she was raped aboard a yacht. Some things are important, while some things are made to be important. Chief Stone gets the action he needs for his own peace of mind. This CBS Television movie has a talented cast that includes: Sean Young, William Devane, Mika Boorem, Saul Rubinek, Kathy Baker, James Gammon and Joe the Dog.
