The Numbers Station

Have any of you ever felt that the actor John Cusack type with Nicolas Cage? I mean the same type he had the look of 'pleading' and face fit mounted in a variety of genres without being seen out-of-place ranging from romantic comedy (Serendipity), quirky drama (High Fidelity), epic disaster (2012), to horror (1408) and much more. And whether accidental or not the career of John Cusack being the same money with Cage ... in other words being stagnant. The Numbers Station place Cusack movie as an action star in the thriller genre. Success?

Here Emerson Kent Cusack role as a covert CIA agent who has a role in executing mysterious figures. If you or a film enthusiast espionage story then one of the most famous myth is the mysterious figures who broadcast into the air. These numbers are encrypted This means known only to a few CIA agents who will do his bidding without wondering whether it is to kill people, blow up buildings, or whatever. One of the reasons why the agency is getting query will do his bidding without question is that the figures broadcasted from a very safe place so definitely legitimate.

After all, it does not mean mental illness Emerson did not see his work. Having not had the heart to kill someone in the Emerson mission finally removed from field duty and stationed in Europe to be a guard station broadcasting figures. There, Emerson worked together with a girl named Katherine who served as a broadcaster numbers. After a few days of their work is progressing well after workplace problems arising from Emerson and Katherine attacked by the mysterious. Who is this mysterious parties and what they want from the broadcasting station numbers?

The Numbers Station directed by Danish director Kasper Barfoed that I have never watched his films other. Indeed this film actually has a small budget and the majority takes place only in one place. Two stars really play an important role here is John Cusack and Malin Akerman and fortunately the chemistry between the two is very suitable. Cusack appeared with a person who is dismissive and difficulty adapting to reality while Akerman although it looks 'normal' in the beginning proved to have a problem in itself. Because the solid acting from both of these I can sympathize and support them to get out of this squeezed state alive.

But beyond the slick appearance of Cusack and Akerman film feels too raw and responsibility in other aspects. Until the concept of numbers ending movie never really explained to detail to the audience so that leaves some question marks if you do not want to say the plot holes in the story. I also feel that Cusack did not deserve to go in the action film genre. Whenever there is a scene where he had to duel with enemies or penalty shoot I definitely cringed because he felt so awkward and overwhelmed Cusack part. Tension movie feels flat without me ever feel that the two main actors in immediate danger despite being attacked by the enemy.
