The Numbers Station Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 23, 2025
It's very slow for an action film, and it doesn't have much thrill to it. The Numbers Station couldn't decide whether to delve into the main character or provide action, and it ends up not doing either very well. My wife hated John Cusack's makeup and commented on it throughout the movie.
SF Crowsnest
Frank Ochieng
The figures simply do not add up in director Kasper Barfoed's sleepy-eyed spy thriller The Numbers Station. Inexplicably stillborn and predictable, The Numbers Station struggles mightily to incorporate a sense of slow burn thrills

Abby Olcese
Ultimately this movie is better forgotten.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
John Cusack replays his role as a lethal operative with occupational angst for a routine thriller with a female cryptographer at secret CIA site. Dire workplace issues ensue.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
John Cusack is back in a ferocious spy role updated to the information universe. Look out.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
John Cusack's usual clipped way of talking serves him well in the role of a disillusioned black ops agent. He's also convincing in the film's gunplay sequences and in his guarded interaction with others.
Television Without Pity
Ethan Alter
Cusack's glum visage immediately lays a wet blanket over Danish director Kasper Barfoed's English-language debut and keeps it firmly in place until the final fade-out.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A predictable hodgepodge of uninteresting psychological cat-and-mouse, dimly lighted action filmed by director Kasper Barfoed in standard-operating shaky-cam ...
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
With Cusack's help, Barfoed holds your interest without resorting to car chases, a rarity in a contemporary thriller.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
It's little wonder the movie spends so much time running in circles when we see where it ultimately goes.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
The Numbers Station is a lean, tactile thriller that grabs you from the opening and keeps you aptly entertained.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
This dreary spy drama is as flat and airless as the concrete bunker in which it unfolds.
We Got This Covered
Simon Brookfield
Assembled from competent elements and featuring more dedicated performances than one might expect, The Numbers Station is still a tad too nondescript to leave much of an impact.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Claustrophobic and repetitive...a numbingly tedious would-be thriller.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Strictly for fans of the stars and perhaps those with an insatiable curiosity about career low points, the feature is certainly digestible, but rarely memorable.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Akerman does work hard to keep up the energy level. Cusack, though, seems bored by the superficial proceedings, which don't even offer the distraction of a real romantic connection or a suspenseful confrontation.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
The Numbers Station is watchable for the things it gets right, yet it is impossible not to think that a lot of pieces to this puzzle are missing.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Cusack and Akerman scramble down a series of dimly lit, identical-looking passageways. The setting is as ill-defined as the characters.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Cusack looks visibly bored. If someone had a camera on you while you were watching it, you would look the same way.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
There are some decent shootouts, but the movie's strongest assets are the soulful performances ...
