“Stolen In Plain Sight” (** out of four) was a tepid suspense thriller about a woman (Gracie Gillam) who flees her abusive husband (Jordan Salloum) and hides in the family chalet but her son subsequently disappears and she goes through a personal/psychological odyssey and labyrinth to have to track him down and bring him back home. Starts out intriguing, with some effective stylistic flourishes and striking cinematography from Matt S. Bell, but eventually goes astray and loses its focus and thus its grip. For a more searing and haunting look at the same story, watch 1988’s “The Vanishing” instead.
