Sophie Tabet makes her feature-length directorial debut with “Stone Cold Fox,” and she’s elected to make a crime movie with some action-y moments. Co-scripting with Julia Roth, Tabet goes where many filmmakers have gone before, looking to make a peppy, stylish overview of criminal activity in a small town, highlighting the efforts of a young woman trying to free herself from all kinds of danger. “Stone Cold Fox” isn’t a particularly original endeavor, but the helmer is committed to making a peppy picture filled with strange characters and periodic bursts of physical activity. The offering is entertaining for the most part, though Tabet is a little shaky when it comes to the overall tone of the feature, which mostly plays candied while actually dealing with dark events the production doesn’t really know what to do with.
