An okay movie

The West African film in question emerges as a skillfully crafted cinematic gem, weaving together elements of suspense and unexpected narrative twists to captivate audiences. One of its notable strengths lies in the natural and compelling performances delivered by the majority of its cast, including standout portrayals such as Duncan Williams', which add depth to the overall storytelling.However, amidst its successes, the film faces scrutiny over the arrest of its main character, David. This pivotal event lacks a clear and plausible rationale within the narrative, particularly when juxtaposed with the doctor's abortion, raising questions about thematic coherence and character development.While the film's runtime could have been condensed to a more focused 90 minutes by trimming stretched scenes, its visual storytelling and emotive soundtrack deserve acclaim for enhancing the cinematic experience. Despite minor flaws, this West African film succeeds in engaging audiences with its suspenseful narrative and thought-provoking themes, marking a significant contribution to the region's cinematic landscape.

Now serving a bowl of Christian propaganda...

Of course I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it. But I do believe in giving all movies a fair chance. But when the movie started out with the words "Africa's Christian Lifestyle Network" I must admit that I was on the verge of calling it quits on a movie that was still only showing its intro. But I carried on, giving the movie the benefit of the doubt, but I have to say that my expectations to the movie were non-existing.The storyline in the movie wasn't really my cup of tea, and as I suspected, then "A Taste of Sin" was a movie lathered in Christian propaganda. So it was definitely not my cup of tea at all. I can't claim that whomever wrote this script managed to put together something that entertained me.Given that this was my first exposure to the Ghana cinema, of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances were, for the majority, actually fair enough.Running at 120 minutes, "A Taste of Sin" would have benefitted tremendously at a more generous trim in the editing room. It was simply too long to sit through, not to mention too boring to sit through."A Taste of Sin" utterly failed to entertain me. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you to waste 120 minutes on watching. Nor it is a movie that will ever grace my screen a second time.My rating of director Frank Rajah Arase's 2023 movie "A Taste of Sin" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
