This slick, stylish and light piece from French production company TGO plays like a cross between a Pixar short and a Team Fortress 2 video; funky soundtrack, strong physical humour, mute but expressive characters and snappy edits. The title says it all, two Spies face off against a small army of well equipped Guards, the zippy white figures running rings around the brutish red sentinels. Flashbacks, sniper scopes, split-screen are all featured, a veritable bag of tricks which makes the cinematography exciting and kinetic. A real treat that doesn't drag.
