The Numbers Station 2013:

The Numbers Station (2013) Poster     The numbers station broadcasts codes to CIA agents, there is a code book as the guideline and the codes change every day along with the changes of the broadcasts.  Emerson Kent is a black-ops agent and he is discredited when he doesn't make a necessary kill.  His partner hits him in the head in order to take out a witness himself.  He’s reassigned to protect one of the code broadcasters.  They arrive for work one day at the station and everything has gone wrong.
     This could have been good and different but many things are not explained clearly enough and they just become more espionage mumbo jumbo.  Cusack plays his character with the constant same grimness and he looks terrible with overly dyed black hair and eyebrows.  2* (I didn’t like this movie)
 
89 min, Mystery directed by Kasper Barfoed with John Cusack, Malin Akerman, Liam Cunningham, Richard Brake, Bryan Dick, Finbar Lynch, Lucy Griffiths, Joey Ansah.

Note:  Blockbuster 1 ½*, imdb 5.3 out of 10, 29% critic 28% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
