I enjoy Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone. He really nails a seasoned veteran police officer hardened by the awful acts of humanity. The plot of this particular film is a little lacking and underdeveloped but bearable. I must also say that I am glad to see a murder mystery set in a location other than Los Angeles or New York City. Paradise is a breath of fresh air in that regard.

While Stone Cold isn't a great film in any real regard it still manages to be entertaining due to Selleck's presence. The villains aren't very captivating (their motivation is vague and uninteresting), the cinematography is standard made-for-TV movie quality and none of the dialog is particularly sharp. Even so, Selleck's calm but determined demeanour salvages what would otherwise be a completely forgettable film.

Not entirely awful. Feels like a TV series that you don't really like but watch to pass time, and is OK for that purpose. Selleck isn't too bad in it.
