Along their route, which is steered by Freddie Highmore's undercover MI6 agent (taking cues from his boss, played by the late John Hurt), the morally righteous Protestant evangelical Paisley and the revolutionary true believer McGuinness articulate their positions on "the Troubles" with determined ferocity. The action's detours -- to a forest, a church and a gas station -- prove contrived and somewhat dully staged. However, the film is buoyed by its sharp, witty lead performances, with Spall's holier-than-thou imperiousness clashing suitably with Meaney's more affable obstinacy.
