Viewing Notes

Third film in the Jesse Stone series and the first that feels most like a tv episode. Doesn’t bother me now that I’ve gotten into the premise and characters, which are easy to like. This installment has Jesse tracking a pedophile murderer and solving a domestic abuse case. Great stuff from Viola Davis once again. Cool seeing William Devane make an appearance.

The Nova Scotia production really shines thru in this ep when Jesse visits an old building in Boston and the metal mailbox in the lobby says “CANADA MAIL” very clearly. Haha
