Stone Cold–a one-of-a-kind review!
Tom Selleck’s mustache is a seal of approval for this movie. You’re guaranteed gritty yet wholesome entertainment. Never mind the dead bodies that keep showing up around town—stone cold, as the title reminds us—shot twice in the chest by a team of serial killers. Yep, you heard correctly. A team, by golly.![]()
The title Stone Cold also refers to Tom Selleck’s character, Jesse Stone, a small-town sheriff with big-town credentials. He used to work for the LAPD, working homicide cases. But now he’s retired from all that.
Or is he?
You see, trouble always seems to find him. Even in the sleepy little mountain town of Paradise.
Besides the dead bodies, Tom Selleck’s ex-wife keeps calling him from the big city. She’s a reporter, and she wants to bring nationwide media into Tom’s little town, to make him look like a fool. He’d better catch these serial killers soon, or else…big trouble!
Best of all, Tom Selleck still looks as fit as ever. In one scene he’s sitting on a porch with some girl who notices how tough he is.
Girl: Do you box?
Tom Selleck: No, I fight.
Girl: What’s the difference?
Tom Selleck: Rules.
And lucky for us, Tom Selleck doesn’t play by the rules. Well, I mean, he sort of does. Like, he doesn’t go around committing crimes, you see, because he’s a good guy, and good guys always follow the rules, unless you’re a tough good guy, in which case…oh, never mind!
Stone Cold is the first in a series of Jesse Stone thrillers, and I wanna see more!

I wish I could grow a Tom Selleck mustache.

Yeah, I think at one time or another, even for just a split second, we all want something as powerful as Tom Selleck’s mustache.
