The Numbers Station - Die Hard in Suffolk

Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds, `The Numbers Station' is sort of like Die Hard, but set in leafy Suffolk (as opposed to the Nakatomi Plaza). Here, John Cussack plays... well, some sort of agent who has to protect your typical gorgeous codebreaker from... whoever the bad guys are who want her, him and probably everyone else dead as well.

The plot is pretty unimportant. It clearly doesn't have the budget to have the big action scenes that Die Hard has, but it plays to its strengths and, what it lacks in action, it makes up for with a reasonably claustrophobic atmosphere and a few good tense moments.

The whole film is completely adequate. It's the sort of film you find on TV late at night and, if you don't have to be up too early in the morning, then you probably won't mind staying up until you see the ending. Then again, if you fall asleep, you probably won't care that much either.
