Visually, the cinematography is of an acceptable standard, accompanied by good quality sound and editing. Costume design is outstanding. The entire short is unapologetically facetious – which we assume is Stash’s goal. The film’s strength is within the hilarious satire. ‘Spy Tops Spy’ concludes with a catastrophic apocalypse – at the hands of the agents. The film acts as a gentle warning about the state of central intelligence agencies and their hunger for greater potency.
