A_Different_Drummer Selleck does not get enough credit for this series.On the one hand this whole series can be dismissed as the efforts of yet one more "older" actor to keep stirring the pot, to stay in the game, and at the same time get to play in his favorite sandbox on the planet (Nova Scotia, standing in for Maine).But if you dig deeper and consider the series as a whole what you find is remarkable control, and craftsmanship.The same people appear in every movie, both in front of and behind the camera. Ignoring the regional Canadian accents, they are not bad.Selleck is brilliant. Stone could be the best work of his career. He has trumped Clint Eastwood in his mastery of the two-word piece of dialog. He stands a fragile but unwavering force for law enforcement. There is minimal violence or action in these entries but they hold interest nonetheless.And that damn dog with the stoic face steals every scene he is in.

Prismark10 The Jesse Stone films starring Tom Selleck as a weathered police chief battling alcoholism after his divorce are a good fit for Selleck in these run of made for television films.In Sea Change Stone is trying to solve two cases at once in the small New England town. One is an alleged rape case of an 18 year old in a yacht, the other is a unsolved murder case of a bank teller from the past. Stone and his therapist hope that investigating these cases would keep his mind of the drink as he keeps himself busy and occupied.The film has a good strong cast with Kathy Baker and Viola Davis. They are joined here by William Sadler and Sean Young but despite the cast and Selleck's efforts, its a run of the mill television film. The plot is humdrum and some of the better actors deserve a better script.

bikerhiker46 If some archaeologist is digging around some 200 years from now and happens upon a copy of this film I only hope he's able to find a DVD player that will play it. Sea Change is that good! And unlike the usual junk passing for cinema these days this movie (and others in the series) displays a range of talent that will speak well of the 21st Century movie industry. Wonderful writing, wonderful directing, wonderful acting, wonderful sound track! But perhaps most impressive of all is the photography. In fact as a professional photographer specializing in landscape stills I was time and time again blown away by the powerful composition of the scenes, the originality of the camera work, the blending of subtle tone and color. As masterful piece of cinema-photography as I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing and memories of the most powerful shots shall inform my own work for years to come.

whpratt1 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.
