Jesse Stone: No Remorse is a movie that chooses substance over style. The movie stays away from tons of action scenes, impressive camera angles and CGI. Instead this is a movie with a story that actually focuses on the story (consisting mainly of dialogue). The movie is labeled as a crime/mystery but personally I would label it more as a drama centering around burned out detective Stone's life and his interactions with other interesting characters in his small town, and a subplot about the solving of a couple of murder cases and robberies. The subplot isn't as thorough though. Therefore I advice people that are going to watch this movie to not expect to watch a complex 'whodunit' movie. I haven't seen the previous installments of the Jesse Stone series but I can say that in the way this movie was presented I was able to follow the plot. I must say this movie did raise my curiosity, so I might watch the other Jesse Stone movies. I'm not much of a television viewer, let alone a television film viewer. I was very surprised to see how good this movie is. I found this to be better than a lot of movies I watched in the cinema recently. The intriguing dialogue and good acting makes this charming little film a worthwhile experience. 8/10

It has been a long time since I watched a series with such a delight. The Jesse Stone series is surely going into TV-History. It is beyond time and will be watchable even in 50 years from now. Tom Selleck is an icon of the 80's, but I'm sure he will be remembered for these wonderful movies. Tom is playing with minimalism, but every word, look, and breath is telling more than any short handed written hip cop series can say.

The pictures and the music are leading you into the small town world perfectly. If you are open for it, you can dive in and follow.

Even from an European perspective I can tell, that America can be proud of such a quality TV-work.

The stage curtains open ...

Captain Healy: "You look terrible." Jesse: "Thank you."

The stakes are raised a bit higher in "No Remorse", the 6th entry in the Jesse Stone television movie series. A killer is on the loose and it is only a matter of time before they strike again. Tom Selleck reprises the role he was made for once again as the Police Chief of Paradise. Only, he has been suspended without pay now, so I guess he isn't really the Police Chief anymore. But, he still lives in that old remote house at the end of the long wooden walkway and he still has his dog companion, Reggie.

The film starts out with a young man being shot in the back of the head in a parking garage. Jesse is no longer on the police force, so his pal, Captain Healy has asked him to serve as a temporary consultant on the case and investigate the killing, which turns into more than one over time. Meanwhile, Rose and Suit are the only 2 officers working in the Paradise police department, and they are feeling the overwhelimg pressure that comes with it in their efforts to stem a series of convenience store robberies leaving employees beaten and hospitalized. As Jesse digs deeper into his own sleuthing, he finds the trail leading back to his old friend, Gino Fish.

Even though I still really enjoyed this film, it felt like a departure from the norm. It just didn't seem right for Jesse to no longer be wearing his navy blue hat with the letters PPD on the front. I didn't like that he had been reduced to a struggling drinker who could only find work as a temporary consultant. Jesse, along with the help of Dr. Dix, tries to warm up more to Reggie, but the dog is quiet and distant. Hasty is out of prison now and runs a used car sales lot, having found his flashing bowtie and using it as a gimmick. And, Jesse has finally gotten his own cell phone, which Rose helps him to use.

I did like this film. To me, it was one of the weaker ones of the series. The final reveal on who the killer was and his motive felt a bit contrived, but as always, it was written and executed well. This is a good movie though. I would still recommend it. But, we need Jesse to be back as the Police Chief so he can go back to writing more parking tickets, and just be his normal self again.

I have read all the novels and have seen all the movies with Tom Selleck. He will always be remembered as Magnum P.I., but Jesse Stone is his very best work. If you are looking for loads of action No Remorse will not fit the bill. It has excellent characters, very smart dialog and great performances. I am tired of reading how this series is slow. I don't want car chases and super human cops kicking down doors. Tom Selleck's Jesse is flawed, human and holding on for dear life. The supporting case is first rate, William Devane, Saul Rubinek (whose character is very much wounded like Jesse), Stephen McHattie as the State Homicide Captain, Kathy Baker as Rose and Kohn Sudduth as Luther are all excellent, nothing blazing, but the perfect touch by each in support of Tom Selleck. Another under rated performance is William Saddler as Gino Fish, his cat and mouse game with Jesse is always interesting to watch. In No Remorse, Gino lets his his guard down ever so slightly to Jesse, SLIGHTLY, their scenes together are superb. I look forward to Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone, is in many ways the movies characterizations are superior to the novels. That is very hard to do. In No Remorse Jesse is still suspended as Paradise Police Chief, he is drinking heavily. There is a crime wave in town and Luther and Rose are prohibited from talking to Jesse. Capt Healy calls on Jesse for help with apparent serial killer in Boston. The dialog and performances are excellent and my only disappointment was the ending. Of course the ending is the set up for the next Jesse Stone movie Innocents Lost. My final note is that this web site does not make note of this production. My understanding is that production is complete and another movie is being readied for filming.

Robert B. Parker was a master. Tom Selleck is perfect as Jesse. These movies are well made. But Parker was a dog lover. The ongoing theme of Jesse showing Reggie, the dog, no affection .......is bullshit. Pet the GD dog. Tell him he's a good boy. What the hell is wrong with whoever decided this was a good change from Parker's writing? The movie does Mr. Parker a disservice and the franchise should be ashamed.

I am already on the sixth film in the Jesse Stone series. Once again the film was not based on any book, but original characters from Robert B. Parker's novel. Very interesting opening credit, because that's the clips from a big city. So it leaves an impression that the tale has shifted its base to another town, but that's not entirely true. Yes, it is different from the previous ones, since Jesse's role slightly changed after what happened in the last film. Also a better film after the recent downfall, still not that great, but anyway, Jesse Stone fans will enjoy it.

There's a murder in the opening which was shown to us, but who was behind it remains a mystery, because that's the story of this film to reveal. So the one murder becomes two and followed by another, Jesse, who is now not in the force gets a chance to involve on it indirectly. Besides, the film not to focus on just one case, but multiple like the usual and that's the Jesse Stone series' special. With those layers, how it was developed and ended was smartly done.

Jesse's old boss is out of the prison and he lends some help on something to him. I surprised for the return of Mae Whitman, she's different and played a quite interesting part. I'm also happy for mentioning the Reggie in the film, so far he was unnoticed, but gets a slight recognition here. Finally the mysterious ex-wife's torture ends with this sequel; I believe that's what I saw. Besides, Jesse got a cell phone and there's a series of jokes regarding sharing the number, only minor ones.

"Jealousy's a powerful thing."

Still the same director, and he did a good job. Besides appearing in the lead, Tom Selleck also penned the story for this with another writer. They really did write a nice screenplay, even it could have been adapted for the big screen. So, for the television standard, it is a much better film. The sad part is the original writer, Robert B. Parker's unexpected death during before this film came out. So there's a mention at the end of the film with respect. His contribution must be appreciated, now there are many Jesse Stone fans out there after this series came out and I hope it continues for another decade.

Since the Jesse's absent in the force, his colleagues had taken some serious steps to fight the crime in Paradise. Particularly Luther has taken the charge of the force, and with Rose, only they two are the ones left in the station. On the other hand, they're facing a threat from the town council that they might be disbanded if their work or the result does not meet the target. So that's why this tale becomes so exciting, because they try their best to keep their jobs, but only the follow-up film would disclose about how it all shapes up.

Regarding the murders, the suspense was good, but also gives some hints for the viewers to have their opinion on the suspect. So the end was not bad or its simple twist. After what happened in this story, I'm curious where the next one would take us. Particularly, I'm eager to know Jesse's journey, whether he returns to Paradise or set to work for his boss at the Boston.

Anyway, this film was a turning point for sure; many unexpected things might going to happen in the remaining films. In the those remaining three films, I expect at least one of it would end as the best in the series. So can't wait for those ones to watch and let me meet you with the next review in a couple of days.

7/10

We thought that Jesse Stone No Remorse was excellent. Tom Selleck is at his best playing Jesse and he is as handsome as ever!!! We were a little frustrated at the ending but will just have to wait until Innocents Lost airs. Jesse is very methodical in looking at crime scene videos and he is very adept at recreating the actual crime scenes. I love the way he interacts with Rose. Maybe in the next instalment, Innocents Lost, he will become involved with Rose, and forget about his ex. Hopefully, at the hearing, Jesse, Rose and Luthor will be reinstated. The casting of William Sadler as Gino is great. I remember him from Die Hard 2 but in Jesse Stone he is perfect in the part. He still looks to be in great shape. Can't wait for the next Jesse Stone.

"Jesse Stone: No Remorse" is a 2010 movie based on the character created by Robert B. Parker.

I like a lot of things about these movies, one of which is how incidental characters are carried through to the next story, for instance, Emily Bishop, now working in a convenience store; and Hasty, now out of prison and still in love with his ex-wife.

In this film, Jesse has been suspended by the town council and isn't supposed to be talking to Suitcase or to Rose. And now he has a cell phone and Rose has the number, if he could only figure out how to work it.

Healy (Steven McHattie) hires Jesse as a consultant to look into a series of murders. Jesse gets the word that everyone on the police force is going to be fired, and the council plans on using these unsolved murders as an excuse. So Jesse points out it would behoove everyone involved to get them solved.

My problem with these movies, though I think the stories are good, is Tom Selleck. I happen to be a fan of his. What I like about him is his smile, his flair for comedy, and his immense charm. None of which he displays here. He has a sad, depressed look on his face and mumbles his lines, and it's supposedly called ACTING. It's a generic, monotone performance. If a more complex actor were playing this role it would help the movies.

I read a story from a woman who gave EST-type courses to actors, in which she promised them a result - not stardom, but something. There was this one guy in the class who would get close to roles but never get them. She called his agent and told the actor, I have wonderful news. You have no talent.

Now, the actor was very upset, but the teacher pointed out to him that now, he didn't have to worry - all he had to do was use his charm and his winning personality to sell the role and not worry about the other stuff.

She ends her chapter in this book by saying the actor became a household name. Given that this was written at the time that Magnum was so big, I have always suspected the actor was Selleck.

Whether it was or not, this role does not play to his strong points. He's not Al Pacino and he shouldn't pretend he is.

I am a huge fan of Jesse Stone series of movies. The storylines are well written ,and acted by a wonderful cast. The location is stunning , and adds to the moody atmosphere ,and the gentle unobtrusive background music creates a mysterious foreboding feel throughout. If I have any criticism it would be the constant stream of women offering themselves to Jesse on a platter! Yes he is" Magnum PI The Hunk! " , however, I do find it a little cheesy , It kind of seems that there are not too many available men, and too many single women in the town, and nearby area ! Jesse, show some self control, and stop giving these poor women false hope!!! However, that applies to each movie in the series. For me " No Remorse" was equally as engaging and interesting as the previous ones . Slow and deliberate , atmospheric and deep....... a winning formula.

I like Jesse Stone character, and Tom Selleck it 100% Jesse Stone.

No Remorse, the latest installment of the magnificent Jesse Stone series is only for those who love good character driven drama performed by some of today's greatest character actors. And its for those who can appreciate lens work which teases our senses with charming Cape Cod scenery in contrast to gritty Boston backdrops. The multiple story lines keep it moving, some stories meandering through the work like a brook through the salt meadows, still others rushing with the force of a North Atlantic tide. But all the stories flow in the same direction, some to a conclusion and others to a continuance... like stories do in real life. And as in real life, Jesse's flawed character remains but we can forgive him. After all, who among us has not experienced a broken heart, if not a broken spirit? And who has not witnessed the struggle of loved ones with substance abuse? Talented, productive people with a problem... we have all known one and in some cases we have been one. And so we can all root for Jesse and in doing so we root for ourselves.

I've enjoyed many of the other Jessie Stone movies but I found this one to be lacking in a lot of substance. The plot does not get resolved in any satisfying way, and many of the characters lack depth. Even the storyline between Jessie and his dog does not materialize into anything. It feels like a lot of different parts put loosely together - his past relationship with his ex-wife, his co-workers marital problem, an unrelated string of brutal convenience store robberies, and the towns impending plan for the police department - none of these ideas felt resolved at the end. (except for the convenience store robberies, but this was dealt with in such a straightforward way and the bad guys were never heard from again. I guess they were just bad.) No regrets skipping No Remorse.

I enjoy all of the Jesse Stone series with Tom Selleck. It is far better than the crap that is on tv today

No Remorse (2010) stands out as an especially dark and bleaker Jesse Stone story. We see Jesse more troubled, more cynical and measurably grumpier than usual. For good reason though. The town council have suspended him without pay. I like it when Jesse is struggling with his demons so this episode should be one of my favourites but it's not. I found this one to be one of the least interesting in the series. I really like the town council scene though.

👍 Jesse more troubled than usual. 👍 Plenty of Jesse & Reggie scenes. 👎 Cast change. Krista Allen replaces Stephanie March as Cissy Hathaway. 👎 The amount of dialogue wasted on Jesse's dislike of mobile phones was too much. It got old and repetitive quick. 👎 Some of the stunt work, specifically near the end was very TV movie.

Jesse Stone: No Remorse (2010)

If it weren't for Tom Selleck I'd never have made it twenty minutes through this cliché laden over-sized made for TV movie. It feels like any routine t.v. episode cop and detective movie stretched into two hours, and yet it's missing even the cool twists that the best t.v. shows use to keep each week interesting.

Except for the really superb (I mean superb) photography, this is dull, bad stuff. I watched it all because of two things. One, I wanted to see who did the crimes and why. Two, I thought with each passing scene it couldn't continue as badly as it started.

Okay, three actually, Selleck himself is fun to watch in his grumpy, steady, intuitive way. And filmed well throughout.

If you have seen other Jesse Stone movies you might have other reasons to put up with some of the additions here because they might have given more backstory. I haven't and so (for example) the scene toward the beginning where the hotty woman tells Selleck she just wants uncomplicated sex with him and she's wearing no underwear, and where he says no thanks and grumpy as ever leaves and walks home, is totally stupid. Or male fantasy. (Or female fantasy if you like an aging Selleck very very much?) And it has zero bearing on the movie. She never appears again. It was just for the little thrill.

Some would call it character development. But it's just thin and obvious. It's like giving cardboard depth. Call it foam core. If by good fortune you don't actually see all these various character traits as clichés you won't be as annoyed or bored as I was. That comes from what movies (and t.v. shows) you've seen before. Selleck plays a characteristic older cop on the skids. He drinks, he's been kicked off the police force, he befriends a sweet ordinary young girl like a daughter, he figures out the crime by just being experienced and intuitive, he is single and lonely, he's obsessed, and so on and so on. If it wasn't for Selleck having screen presence it wouldn't hold an ounce of water.

The supporting cast is reasonable, if again filling predictable niches in this kind of movie. I like cop and detective movies. I was open to liking this a lot. I'm even a Detroit guy (like Selleck) and was predisposed favorably. But be prepared. Enjoy the camera-work throughout because that's the main attraction, and it's not enough.

Glad to see that Jesse uses a Thorens turntable. Swiss engineering at its' best.

It simply doesn't get better than this effort. The original incarnation in 2005 was strong and introduced the characters for what was to follow.

The two films in 2006 were ok but it didn't all quite hit the mark, and it wasn't until "Sea Change" in 2007 that the series finally settled on a genre which firmly set the tone for the later films with the characters that had been introduced earlier. This is of course an opinion, but it's based on a five-year run, which rolled off 6 films over that period. Although they can mostly be found on the Hallmark network, they were originally broadcast on CBS on Saturday nights at 9pm.

The Jessie Stone films had crimes to solve, but there was also the overarching issue that Jessie had to deal with himself, regarding his marriage break up and his drinking problem that ensued. With the Jessie Stone films there was normally one main case, i.e., in Sea Change a tourist who owned an up-market schooner was accused of raping a local girl which first got Jessies attention, but quickly he became intrigued about an unsolved bank robbery in Paradise some 15 years earlier. Also, there was a hitman hired by Gino Fisch to investigate what happened to the missing money from the bank robbery. This goon also held a grudge against Jessie Stone who he held responsible for the death of his brother.

"Thin Ice" opened with an attempted murder of Captain Healy a colleague and friend from the Massachusetts State police, that kicked off the film. This was followed by an investigation over the possibility that a kidnapped child from New Mexico might be living in Paradise. The third wheel on that film was the issues Chief Stone was having with the town council in Paradise.

These two earlier movies set the scene for "No Remorse" which l felt Just got it all together and I don't think that the other three Jessie Stone movies that followed could compete with this one - it was simply too good.

It starts off with a murder in a car park in Boston and followed up with some random shootings where there didn't seem to be a clear motive. Consequently, despite being suspended as Chief of the Paradise police department, Healy hires Jessie Stone as a consultant to try and help solve the killings. There is also a string of package store robberies in the region which gets the towns attention and Jessie also helps with the investigation, although in an unofficial capacity.

The writing in this and the other two mentioned films is good and the pacing with its sedate approach accompanied by a distinctive pedestrian music score is perfect with the often stilted, although deliberate dialogue, perfect for early evening viewing with a glass of wine or a couple of cold beers. However, it's Tom Selleck's on screen presence which captivates the viewer and his melancholy mood accompanied by his no-nonsense approach to his policework which stands out. The directing and production really hit the sweet spot over the last three films, with this one being the last really good outing.

The next three after were solid enough and watchable, but l felt they had past peak Jessie Stone. Tom Sellick started to look too old and haggard for the part and although the efforts kept faith with the initial concept the whole genre started to feel stale and repetitive and had simply lost its charm by the later films.

Jesse Stone our dour detective with a fondness for drink and seeing his shrink is back. So more long stares, more slow jazz music and every other cliché to remind the audience that this is not the high adrenaline Magnum but Tom Selleck the actor. However talking slowly and looking miserable does not make you an acting great.

Jesse Stone is suspended by Paradise town council itself looking like a rather corrupt bunch. This leaves Suitcase in temporary charge who is investigating a hold up of a convenience store. The state homicide boss, Captain Healy hires him as a consultant in the hunt for a suspected serial killer who as it turns out may be the secretary of the local boxing promoter and gangster Gino Fish played by William Sandler and maybe the more interesting character in the cast.

You can tell Stone is a great detective because he follows Fish's secretary and suddenly discovers that he has ended up in the gay area of town. It looks like its the first time he has ever realised there is a gay quarter!

Talking about sloppy writing I never did figure out how they managed to solve the general store subplot so conveniently.

I watched this movie out of curiosity to see what else could Tom Selleck do beside the old Hawaii Private Eye series of the past decades. Sadly I was and felt very disappointed with a slow moving and nowhere to go no point melodrama. Given the facts about the story line, I would not be surprised if any other actor could have done better, but definitely not even better! I set through the boring dialogs and watched many meaningless streams of small events that were somehow tie up the story, but I failed to see any of them! My recommendation is for you to try another boring movie with more action and meaningless dialogs that might make you feel better than this one made me feel for wasting my money on the rental, plus the time I wasted watching this crap production! I let you decide which one! Steve H. from Chicago.

I bought this DVD 2 years ago and today I finally got around to watch it.

I re-installed my operating system and had to try out my DVD machine to see how it plays.

I dropped this movie in as the rest of the operating system was updating.

Wow...was this a total bore. There is nothing remotely interesting in this that can really keep a viewer entertained. Nothing leads anywhere and there is no suspense, action, mystery, romance, comedy or anything else.

This is like watching water drip slowly out of a tap. It's so tedious and lame that I will be donating this DVD to my local library to deduct late fees.

Not much else to write, just that this is so dreadfully bland that I'm glad I was doing something else at the time of this viewing, because if I wasn't...I would have certainly been very upset with my wasted time and the wasted efforts by those involved in this lacklustre film.
