JESSE STONE: THIN ICE (2009)

Thin ice, huh?  Once again we get to see Selleck carrying groceries over that bridge and once again talk about parking tickets and whimper about his ex-wife.  Boo-hoo.  Oh yeah, his psychic deputybot 2.0 is back and annoying as ever.  Anyway, Selleck gets shot in the arm while hanging out with his buddy in Boston.  Stuff happens and there's also the case of a missing baby.  It's just the same stuff we've already seen from the first four movies: trouble with the city council, taking the law into his own hands, Selleck is positive of the suspects guilt after only seeing the suspect for 10 seconds, drinks like a fish, women throwing themselves at him, horrible dialogue, he takes his dog everywhere but never pets the motherfucker, blah, blah, blah.
 
Not a horrible movie, definitely watchable, but just stale.  I feel like I'm revisiting the same rerun over and over.  And I never did understand his sudden hatred of that one deputy in the last film.  That was completely out of nowhere.  The reasoning behind that must have been edited out or something.
