Trivia
When Katherine is trying to crack the files about halfway through, she runs a hexdump and it lists out several dozen ASCII bytes separated by percent signs. This is easily decoded to say "Hello Richard, my name is Mark and I think that you are very fat indeed and sometimes you smell as well" two times (with no separator in between, so it says "wellHello" in the middle).

Goofs
Katherine tells Emerson the code is 7463. The code that Emerson mouthed, over background music into the microphone, was 7543.

Quotes
Grey: I'll get you a prescription for Ativan, it'll stop your conscience bothering ya.

Crazy credits
Opening credits starts with some numbers spoken and reversed match with the names that are shown.

Captivating thriller with Cusack in top form

I saw that this movie only scored 5.4 on IMDb and I wanted to quickly write that it's a whole lot better than that. The movie kept me interested from start to finish. It doesn't slow down appreciably at any point. There isn't an overwhelming amount of action but there is a tense atmosphere throughout. The location is also great. A moody, grey numbers station right out in the middle of nowhere. But the main reason for watching this movie is Cusack who perfectly plays the loner, haunted, tough guy, with a conscience. He's supremely watchable in every frame. In fact, Cusack plays these types of characters better than anything else. He has that suitably detached, dangerous look, down to a tee. He also does ambiguity very well. All of this is displayed really well in the movie. Ackerman is also well cast as the enthusiastic, smart code girl.
