The idea for a film seems good, but it did not work out for this film. The screenplay lacks some good scenes. The suspense was weaker and so the action sequences. Though the film had good actors in the lead and visually looked fine, like the locations. Most of the story was set in a single location, except the opening sequence. Almost a minimal cast film. So it had all the qualities to succeed if the plot was developed smartly.The story of a CIA's field agent who has been assigned to one of their remote stations in England after he had failed to obey the order from his fellow senior officer. A code operator Katherine, whom he has to protect find himself in a tight position when their building was breached. Once again, his professional ethics are tested, but how he deals the situation is what covered in the remaining parts.Its most certain that John Cusack days are over in the entertainment industry, just like Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. But it's good to see them at least in small flicks like this. So I did not expect much from it, hence not got disappointed. But I thought it should have been better in a few areas, because I've seen lots of good B movies these days. One time watchable film, but looks like it is a simplified version of 'Wanted'.5/10

It's no master piece, but it is way better than it's current score (atm 5.6). This is a classic action movie somewhere in the middle of an unholy "bond", "die hard" and "taken" trinity.Malin Åkerman makes an impressive acting performance in every way, incluing an extremely convincing "being knocked out"-scene. She kills her role in every way possible and this role should never be held agains her in any way. The story is much deeper than first portrayed and makes you feel for the protagonist, even before there is a dilemma portrayed. Once the dilemma is in place, the story goes on in a well paced manor but without any big surprises.To keep it short, this movie is really enjoyable but you might be able to guess the outcome even after 10 minutes of runtime.8/10

For some reason the critics did not like this movie. Then again if your idea of an action movie is the Expendables this is probably not the movie for you. No leaping off a 20 story building and surviving because of a Ninja roll or bad guys falling like flies while the good guy fires infinite rounds doing unreal gymnastics. For me movies like the Expendables are a good light hearted comedy. The numbers station is a suspenseful action movie with real and believable characters and a very interesting plot. The movie starts slow and builds tension all the way through. The fear is tangible, the actions of the the people faced with the unthinkable very believable. I won't tell you anything about the plot, the movie will do that. I'll just highly recommend this movie.

if anyone remembers the film the number 23 where Jim Carrey just goes crazy & gets obsessed with numbers that film actually was seriously hilarious now its John Cusack in numbers station.the plot:black ops agent Kent is sent to a CIA broadcast station to protect a code operator Katherine.the technical department worked on this film did a bad job there is no proper light use,sound,editing most of all i didn't get the dialogs the actors cant speak properly and why there always has to be a lady that needs help in all agent films.the cast:what was John Cusack doing here sir please look at script first your the next Steven Segal if you keep this up,Malin Akerman did some good acting rest cast is wasted this movie is boring despite the good plot critics may like it but its far from an audience entertainer. overall the numbers station 2013 is a dull effort from the makers my rating is 2/10 avoid it for you own good and don't fall for the hype.Skipp it.
