SHORT: Dilemma

That's quite a dilemma! I guess the main point was a cool chasing scene with special effects, with some humour as a vehicle to make it not seem pointless. OK, that might be a bit too critical, but I would say that the special effects need some improvement and use a stabilizer! There was a lot of rolling shutter going on. The clue was OK, although it isn't my type of humour. As a fun-project it is succesful.
 
The sound isn't that....impressive. I don't know if it was just for fun and to escape doing the dishes at home ?

But anyway what makes a movie like this "cool and whaaaw" is the sound... not of the guns and boms, but the sound of running, brunches breaking, some wind, some rumble maybe...

The SFX you used are also not that "high quality", but ok...it costs a lot of money and organisation to record guns and explosions, so you only can use what you find on cd's, the internet...
Also try to not use the same sound for 2 different guns, even if they're the same.
 
That's some good advice on the sound side of things. I like the idea a lot. It's a fun idea for a short and you executed it quite well. I laughed at the end and was engaged through most of it. The only really meaningful comment I would make is that I could have done with a bit less of the fighting. I understand that to some extent how long it all went on was intended for comedic effect, but I think that message would still have come across just fine were it a bit shorter.
