Film Review - Kneecap (2024)

Not heard of Rich Peppiatt? Kneecap, will change that. As his Belfast-set docudrama explodes off the screen, it leaves an unforgettable calling card and a sense of excitement and anticipation. If this is his debut feature film, what’s next? The winner of the Audience Award at Sundance back in January, it’s the dramatized version of the true story of Northern Ireland hip-hop trio, the Kneecap of…

My name is George Nathaniel Curzon, I am a most superior person. My face is pink, my hair is sleek, I dine at Blenheim once a week.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 107 (Feb. 14, 1993) - "Dax"

The Breakdown

After an attempt to kidnap Jadzia Dax is foiled, she’s charged with the alleged crimes of the Dax symbiote’s previous host, Curzon. The head accuser, Ilon, claims that Curzon betrayed his father (a war hero) during a civil war on their planet, leading to his death. Since Jadzia seems suspiciously unwilling to defend herself, Sisko delays the arrest by having the Bajoran government hold a tribunal over jurisdictional rights (Bajoran’s aren’t part of the federation yet so it would require additional paper work) while Odo searches for evidence to exonerate Dax. Sisko proceeds to mount a defense on the grounds that Jadzia shouldn’t be held accountable for Curzon’s actions since they are different people, while Ilon offers an argument to the contrary.

Meanwhile Odo decides to follows a lead in Ilon’s mother (the war hero’s widow) and discovers that Curzon has an airtight alibi.  That’s right, he was bangin’ Ilon’s mom like the horny womanizer he was.  So then why was Jadzia so tight lipped?  Because she felt bad for the Widow (for whom she has residual feelings inherited by the Dax symbiote), and shame for Curzon’s actions; although to be fair it turns out Ilon’s War-hero daddy was actually the real traitor all along.  And that’s it.  Since Curzon truly wasn’t guilty of anything, Jadzia is free to go.

The Verdict

This episode sets up a pretty interesting moral quandary, that it chose to side-step by absolving Dax from the the crimes they were accused of. The end result still isn’t terrible, but the reveal of Curzon’s affair feels like a weak justification for Jadzia to take the fall, considering capital punishment is on the line. I also would have been interested to know the answer regarding Jadzia’s culpability over a crime she realistically inherited through no fault of her own.  Do the Trill’s have a law for this? Does the Federation? Admittedly the relationship between the Trill Symbiotes and their hosts will be explored further in future episodes, but as far as I can recall this particular issue isn’t ever addressed specifically, which seems like a missed opportunity.

There’s also a lot of season 1 theatrics and melodrama that I can mostly forgive, but not entirely overlook. The episode’s saving grace is the depiction of Dax and Sisko’s friendship, and the further establishing of Trill lore. Ultimately Sisko and Dax’s relationship is one of many elements that made DS9 stand out as my favourite Star Trek series, so I’ve come to accept ‘Dax’ as a first step towards better stories.

2.5 stars (out of 5)

Additional Observations:

Lone Wolf Commander: Sisko shows a willingness to play fast-and-loose with procedure and rules. He never overtly crosses the line, but he does express an unwillingness to accept “wrong answers” in his investigation of Jadzia. It’s meant to serve as show of loyalty towards Dax, but considering his rank and position, that attitude teeters close to an abuse of power.  Although to be clear, that willingness to play with shades of gray is also an aspect to the character (and the show) that I find intriguing.

For someone who we learn about almost exclusively through exposition, Curzon is quite a colourful, and often problematic character.  It’s always interesting to watch Sisko reconcile his part in Curzon’s past adventures, while acknowledging that his role-model was not always an ideal one.

Speaking of problematic behaviour; GOD Bashir is such a greasy dude here. The opening scene of his dinner with Jadzia is pure cringe. He shoots his shot, she says no using different words, and he basically just goes “it doesn’t count if I can’t find a loophole in your phrasing.” It’s all the more galling that his lack of respect for her personal space is somewhat responsible for saving her life. You just know he’s never gonna let that go.

'Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” were the dominant forces at the U.K. and Ireland box office this weekend, with a combined debut take of £29.4 million ($37.6 million), per numbers from Comscore.

Warner Bros.’ “Barbie” led the way with a mighty £18.5 million, while Universal’s “Oppenheimer” collected £10.8 million. Cinema chains reported record turnouts, with Vue saying that it witnessed its biggest weekend in four years and second biggest weekend in history by admissions. “Barbie” is on track to become the biggest film of 2023 in the territory, ahead of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”

London was at the heart of the box office bonanza with cinemas enjoying unprecedented sales. Curzon reported the busiest weekend in their history with over 200 sold-out screenings in their London venues, and Picturehouse Cinema, with 13 venues in London, also reporting their best weekend ever.

Oliver Meek, executive director of the Rio Dalston, said: “The ‘Barbenheimer’ weekend was our most commercially successful weekend ever. We sold over 5,000 tickets this weekend, 865 servings of popcorn and 183 ‘Barbie’ cocktails. We took more money this weekend than we did in the whole of June. We expect to be sold out every night this week, with tonight and Wednesday already fully booked.”

Lucy Jones, executive director U.K. and Ireland, Italy, Middle East and Africa at Comscore, added: “London normally accounts for 25% of U.K. and Ireland box office revenue, contributing almost £150 million so far this year. Both ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ were popular here, selling over £8 million of tickets. London audiences delivered 29% of ‘Oppenheimer’ ticket sales, boosted by Imax screenings.”...'

Why have Star Trek Picard when we could had Star Trek Curzon, in the style of 80's college party movies, with young Ben Sisko getting in trouble?

In fact, I have the best material to base Curzon series: koogler!
