Jesse Stone: Sea Change is the fourth in the series of films starring Selleck as Jesse Stone, the former Los Angeles homicide detective who has been fired from the LAPD, left his wife and comes to Paradise, Massachusetts, to start life over again as the New England town’s police chief. Co-starring William Devane (TV’s Knot’s Landing), Kathy Baker (Edward Scissorhands) and Sean Young (Blade Runner), this installment finds Chief Stone (Selleck) bored with what he perceives as his mundane life, struggling to keep his drinking and his obsession with beautiful women under control. Stone’s restlessness gets the best of him and he re-opens a 12-year-old cold file involving the murder of a bank teller. The inquiry reveals fresh clues and Stone soon finds himself busier than ever as the unsolved case leads to another centered around an alleged rape aboard a yacht during the town’s annual Race Week.

Summary: Worth seeing, though we've seen a lot of this before
Comment: If you liked the first three "Jesse Stone" TV films, you'll enjoy this one, too. It's well acted, nicely shot, and there's a pretty good story, too, involving an old, unsolved bank heist and an unsavory crime aboard a visiting yacht. However, this fourth adaptation (the first four movies are adapted from specific Robert B. Parker novels) also features a noticeable amount of repetition and wheel-spinning: Jesse once again is seen struggling with alcohol, with no progress one way or the other; he once again is seen fixating on his ex-wife Jenn, with no progress one way or the other; and he once again is seen helping a young person in an awkward, uncomfortable situation. All that stuff is in the books, too, but for some reason those books (there are seven or eight of them at this point) don't come off as retreads of each other. Maybe because the original novels are rich with plot and story points covering other themes, too, elements that couldn't be fit into the movies.
This repetition and lack of movement on certain issues still qualifies as a nit pick, though. After all, how many of us struggle with certain issues indefinitely throughout our lives, and how many of us gravitate to addressing the same kinds of problems we see around us, the way Jesse zeroes in on troubled kids and tries to help them? A lot of us on both counts, I'll wager.
Still, it'd be nice to see a Jesse Stone movie that would perhaps back-burner (not eliminate, just de-emphasize) the drinking, troubled youth, and the pining for the ex-wife, and explore other aspects of Jesse's character. And that might happen: as I write this, the fifth and sixth "Jesse Stone" movies are in various stages of production, and they're not based on specific Parker novels, just the book series in general (one of the new movies will be called "Jesse Stone: No Remorse"). So, we might get to see a little extra freshness in future installments of this already very good series of TV films.

Summary: Solid "Stone" Story Line
Comment: The 4 movies in this series are well acted with good pace and imaginative plots. Each gets a little to close to the edge but really keeps your interest SEA CHANGE was realistic and did Sellick fans proud. 'Hope he does more.
