Tom McCarthy’s “Stillwater” appears in its marketing to be one of those made-for-TV movies where a young American travels abroad, then is swallowed by the dark contours of her new environs. And it is up to a determined parent to save their offspring from the swarthy “otherness” of a foreign country.
Watching the trailer, I flashed back to seeing the Sally Field vehicle “Not Without My Daughter” as it played on rotation on cable. Not made-for-TV, but you get the idea. There are a lot of movies like this, enhanced in our modern times thanks to Liam Neeson becoming a AARP-approved action star who’s always getting his kids out of a sex trade ring or something.
