MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

lvbastin Not having been a Magnum PI fan, I've not watched many Tom Selleck movies other than his westerns. But one night after watching "Quigley Down Under" for the sixth or seventh time, I decided to watch one of the Jesse Stone series on Net Flix. This series is very engaging and once I started watching them I had to see them all and I even bought the DVDs. This most recent "Without a Doubt" is not one of the better ones. All of the flaws have been pointed out: believability -- where is the rest of the police force; incongruity of the plot; and his love life has definitely taken a dive. At least he has finally gotten rid of the ex-wife thing which made him seem pretty pathetic after the first 3 or 4 movies. Jesse is the classic brooding bad boy and Tom Selleck plays the role really well. His womanizing and his drinking are part of his charm, after all he is up front with all of the women he makes love to. Tom does need to lighten up on the hair color (better than in Bluebloods where he looks like he's been made up by a mortician). He is one of those men that has gotten more masculine and attractive as he has matured. I think the movie dialog is very similar to that in the books, but Jesse at times is too brooding and intense. Anyone who has his success with women should have a smile on his face once in a while. As a female fan, I'd wouldn't mind seeing how Jesse looks without his shirt on. This is a good series and I hope we have many more Jesse Stone movies to come.

stonesdoor-51-269486 I could watch Tom Selleck sit and think for hours -- and that's pretty much what I did in this latest Jesse Stone episode. It was slow, but that's Robert B. Parker for you, and yet I return to the Jesse Stone novels just as I will for the Tom Selleck portrayal of our flawed hero. Two small things that bothered me: One, Rose is portrayed by 61 year old Kathy Baker; did I understand that she had a baby 3 years ago? Maybe I misunderstood that. Two, Jesse wakes up in the morning and is freshly shaved. With a beard like his, I don't think so. Oh, a third problem: Jesse never did talk to the dead Chief's wife and we never saw any closure for her dad. Did I mention I could watch Tom Selleck for hours, even if he's sleep-walking through a murder mystery?

Doug Ripberger The latest Jesse Stone installment, Benefit of the Doubt, is yet another reminder that Jesse is a flawed character. Tom Selleck does such a great job with this character you find yourself justifying these flaws and rooting for him to overcome and serve justice at the same time. Robert B. Parker's vision for Jesse to continue to be flawed has remained intact even after the scripts wandered away from Parker's story line. The supporting cast, Kathy Baker, Kohl Sudduth, Stephen McHattie, William Sadler, Saul Rubinek, and William Devane all return to Paradise to as well. Great acting by Selleck, good writing, and the talented supporting cast preserve Parker's vision for Jesse Stone and hopefully give it life for yet another CBS movie.

lleone-4 As the previous reviewer mentioned, the opening scene garners much attention and promises of good things to come. Unfortunately, they never really do. Tom Selleck does a nice job. If it was another actor, I don't think I would have watched the whole movie. There are numerous mood shots where the camera just stays on the character a bit longer for my liking. The dog is cute (I believe it's Tom Selleck's actual dog) but he gets the same long camera lingering shots. After a while you couldn't help laughing when the dog comes on. There may be too many characters and they don't really get developed so the story does not flow. I don't want to spoil any of it for those who are sentenced to watch it, but you will find some of the occurrences to be a bit illogical. It's definitely not on par with Blue Bloods.
