For an action thriller then "The Numbers Station" wasn't particularly interesting or impressive. In fact it was so predictable to the point of where it was almost ridiculously predictable. And this was a hard blow to the movie, which dragged it down.
And while both John Cusack and Malin Åkerman performed quite well, then they just had very little to work with in regards of script and direction from Kasper Barfoed. Liam Cunningham also did a good job acting in this movie, as he always does.
The plot in "The Numbers Station" had an adequately enough foundation, it just never took hold. But director Kasper Barfoed swung wide and missed even wider with this movie.
If you enjoy thrillers then there are far, far better thrillers available, and "The Numbers Station" is worth your time only if you are a fan of John Cusack or Malin Åkerman. But even then, don't get your hopes up too high.
