“Stolen By Their Father” (** out of four) was a dutifully solemn psychodrama about a mother (Sarah Drew) whose ex (Kimonas Kouris) kidnaps her children and takes them to Greece and she tries to take him to court but finds to her shock that neither the law nor the courts are on her side and her ex has all legal rights to do whatever he wants and has to play at his own game to get them back. Earnestly based on a true story and co-written by the main character Lizbeth Meredith but doesn’t have any fresh voltage of surprise and may remind hard-core film viewers too much of Sally Field’s 1990 “Not Without My Daughter.”
