Finding Diana was a great initiative! It was different to see a young lady journalist on the quest to unlock the truth. The movie had lots of capacities, but was sadly overcome by weak screenplay, direction, and acting
DELICIOUS
-Aisha's hair and costume designs😃 She had a boyish look with twists that haven't been retouched in a while! It was good to see that as it clearly indicated she was a workaholic
-"If we fail to act, history will not forgive us", this was the general message of the story. We can't be silenced in the face of injustice. It was encouraging to see Aisha take it upon herself to track down the sex trafficking ring
-A job well done when it came to the color grading. Loved it! The yellow-blue palette adequately accentuated the actors' faces and created the necessary dramatic mood, especially in the night club scenes
BLAND
---Aisha is an investigative journalist but we didn't get a feel of her skills. She wasn't aggressive, edgy or sharp when it came to seeking out the truth
-The opening scene was captivating with Aisha being kicked out of a nightclub and her voiceover describing the moment. Later, the storytelling just took on a passive note, the thrill died down, and there was no suspense
-It was visible that Uzoamaka's emotions weren't flowing naturally, she was thinking about her next lines, it wasn't coming from within
The rest of the cast didn't support her well, everyone was doing their own thing without being immersed in the narrative
-People, involved in the sex trafficking business, are quite dangerous, yet somehow Aisha went to their base without backup or concrete plan to rescue Diana.
Additionally, the ending lacked a bit of logic with the governor taking a drastic decision after investing money and importing foreign intelligence😳 plus the dialogue in that scene was quite cheesy and unconvincing.
