When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Tom Selleck in No Remorse, another film in his Jesse Stone series has shown his range as a player. No two detectives could be more different than the flip and cool Thomas Magnum of Magnum, PI and the grim and determined Jesse Stone, a man with issues, but who still gets his job done.Whether he has a job is a question though. From the last film Selleck has been left on suspension pending a hearing from his job as chief of the small Paradise, Massachusetts police force. Colleagues Kathy Baker and Kohl Sudduth are trying to carry on as best they can with a string of convenience store robberies plaguing the town.In addition the homicide chief of the Massachusetts State Police, Stephen McHattie has asked Selleck to help very unofficially with a homicide that involves a connected fight promoter William Sadler and his personal assistant Todd Hoffey. It has to be unofficial because of Selleck's suspension, but Tom even with the suspension cramping his style he gets results in both cases.Todd Hoffey in addition to Selleck walks off the acting honors here. This is one very jealous young man who will do anything to keep his relationship with Sadler alive and he tolerates no one else getting close. One should also make note of William Devane as a psychiatrist treating Selleck.The Jesse Stone films are well made and I look forward to seeing the next one when it debuts on television.

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.

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

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.
