Journey, The

After peace talks stall in October 2006 in St. Andrews, Scotland, in this captivating, factually inspired, well-acted, star-dotted (John Hurt, Toby Stephens, Catherine McCormack Ian McElhinney, and Ian Beattie), 94-minute 2016 film, an MI-5 director (John Hurt) quickly hatches a devious plan to have an undercover cop (Freddie Highmore) chauffeur firebrand Democratic Unionist party leader Rev. Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall) and his equally stubborn arch nemesis former IRA chief of staff and Sinn Féin deputy leader Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney) to the Edinburgh airport with the hope that during the drive that they will broker a St. Andrews Agreement peace pact to end forty years of bloody civil war; ironically, Rev. Ian Paisley became the first prime minister of Northern Ireland on May 8, 2007, with Martin McGuinness deputy first minister and together they became known as the chuckle brothers.
