Stone Cold

Stone Cold (2005) is a crime drama TV movie you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Harmon from Robert B. Parker's novel. Tom Selleck stars as Jesse Stone, a burned-out former L.A. homicide cop who trades the big city for the police chief's badge in tiny Paradise, Massachusetts.

Stone arrives carrying a failed marriage, a fondness for Scotch, and a habit of keeping his own counsel. Until now the loudest thing in Paradise was a bar fight. Then bodies start turning up with nothing obvious linking them, the first murders the town has ever seen. The case stays cold until a sixteen-year-old girl walks into the station to report a rape, and her account quietly pulls the scattered threads together. Kathy Baker, Viola Davis and Mimi Rogers round out the small-town cast.

This is a slow-burn mood piece more interested in a tired man's stare than in car chases, soaked in the feel of a town where everyone knows everyone. It launched the long-running Jesse Stone film series with Selleck. Stream Stone Cold (2005) online on iFILM.
