The Numbers Station

Released in 2013, The Numbers Station is thriller Starring John Cusack and Milan Akerman.

The film set, almost entirely, in secret American numbers station and the function of this location is to broadcast codes to intelligence operatives. John Cusack's character, Emerson, is a former CIA agent who has been assigned to this station to protect a code broadcaster named Katherine (played by Akerman). Of course, one day the station comes under attack and all security measures have been compromised. This leaves Katherine and Emerson trapped in the station trying to unravel the mystery of what happened and trying escape with their lives.

While I didn't think this was a great movie and it was a bit predictable, I did find it to be decently entertaining. It's not an action-packed thriller but, I do think the story and confined environment were enough to build and maintain a good level of tension. Although the acting in this one is fine for the most part, Cusack (who's character is supposed to be cold and guarded with memories of past events that still haunt him) just comes off as bored or sleepy a few scenes.

Overall, this one isn't anything special but it's alright.
I give it a 2 out of 5
