Great acting performance from the two leads, and some enjoyable moments.
For me though the plot is contrived and not really believable enough to fully enjoy. Strangely the intellegence team (including a panicky Tony Blair) keep interrupting the action with lines like "What are they doing? Are they going to do it?" I don't know what purpose this all serves. The film has already nicely explained what is at stake at the beginning. The real story is Paisley and McGuiness, not the worries of the driver's handlers. It's quite jarring to be taken out of the main story back to this side show. The character of driver is not interesting. Perhaps someone with a personal story and a stake in the events. It's a bit odd that such a junior member of staff would be driving them, and also not know how to change a tyre. Some enjoyable scenes but I didnt find the plot credible.
