“The Numbers Station” earns points for being a somewhat original take on
the bunker thriller subgenre, using a spy vs. spy world of codes and

scenes that would otherwise die on the vine. 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.
