The Numbers Station (2013) 6/10

Starring : John Cusack, Malin Akerman, Liam Cunningham
Director : Kasper Barfoed
Running Time : 89 mins

When he fails his psych evaluation, black ops agent Emerson Kent (Cusack) is given a seemingly simple task of looking after the well being of code announcer Katherine (Ackerman) and the remote numbers station to which she is assigned, but it isn’t long before what first seemed to be an easy task turns into his most dangerous assignment yet.

This movie is simply a case of poor casting. Cusack really didn’t feel like he was the right person to play the lead in this thriller, and Ackerman is just too good looking to be holed up in a remote numbers station. The plot is one that I’ve come across plenty of times before, with the added twist of Cusack being an assassin that doesn’t like assassinating people anymore but finding himself forced to kill over and over again.
