Not bad premise but…

Why did it feel so cheaply made. Acting and cinematography felt like a student film at times.

I DIDN;T NOTICE...I WILL LOOK CLOSELY WHEN I REWATCH IT.

Maybe you don‘t feel well.

Acting, maybe.
Cinematography by veteran Gabriel Beristain is like a student film?
Don’t think so.

Beautiful-looking film — not so clear on why the repeated use of pastel pink and blue, but most is a moody, restricted palette of black, brown, gold, and crimson. The fight scenes are the clearest of any I’ve seen — amazing, considering these are state-of-art, high-speed brawls. Movie fights normally turn me off and bore me, but these were exciting — truly first-rate. And those Italian settings …

The unique premise really had me involved, creating a great conflict within Agent Verona, fleshing her out to make me root for her while still wondering which road she’s ultimately choose to deal with Adam.

This was no Dollar Tree product.
Felt more Prada to me.

Are you a producer of this movie as you are coming off like one

Let’s try and stick to the film rather than changing the subject to me, kay?

Your lack of any refutation of my points is noted.

You talk like you’re a character from Downtown Abbey. Don’t need to dispute your comments. I didn’t like the movie

That’s Downton Abbey, you illiterate.

I rest my case

I thought the production value was very good. I didn't see what you're describing.

Many of those bees were clearly regular houseflies dressed up as bees.
