Reviews


75
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
The agent in this interesting little thriller — well played by John Cusack — is up to the Company’s usual dirty tricks.
70
Village Voice - Chuck Wilson
There are some decent shootouts, but the movie's strongest assets are the soulful performances Danish director Kasper Barfoed, making his American debut, draws from Cusack and Akerman.
50
The A.V. Club - Unnamed
In The Numbers Station, a joyless sins-of-the-government thriller, Cusack sinks to new depths of meditative glumness to play a black-ops agent nursing a guilty conscience.
50
Chicago Sun-Times - Bill Stamets
Director Kasper Barfoed defaults to intense replays of surveillance audio recordings, frantic strokes on computer keyboards, and standard-issue chases.
40
Variety - Justin Chang
Sentencing a sad-looking John Cusack and a hard-working Malin Akerman to roughly 90 minutes of solitary confinement in a poorly lit underground bunker, this glum, juiceless spy thriller is a by-the-numbers affair indeed, unlikely to find an audience on any frequency.
