Stel, a humanoid alien played by Mark Strange, teams up with a British soldier Private John Marrettie (Malcolm Hankey). They engage on an action-packed adventure to find a top secret file which holds information on advanced energy production, captured space crafts and their alien pilots including Stel’s missing father, Arakawa, who’s been shot down and imprisoned on Earth by Core – a human paramilitary group. The Displaced file falls into the hands of a renegade 'special forces’ leader, Wilson (Graham Brownsmith) whose plans are to sell the file to the highest bidder on the black market for his own financial gain. Private Marrettie is forced to help Stel in his quest to locate the file. The search leads them on a deadly game of survival, combat, intrigue and deceit.

I just saw this film. I understand that it was a very low budget film and one of the director's first efforts. I have to say that regardless of the problems it has, I am impressed. It would have been an ambitious movie even if it had a studio budget. I am a microbudget filmmaker myself and have to suffer commentary from people who have no idea what I'm dealing with. So I want to congratulate the filmmakers for their hard work. It is obvious to me that they were passionate and driven in their intent. That is something that a "budget" can not buy. The rest is gained through experience. There were problems with the screenplay and dialog. Sometimes I think that it was too dry, stiff. The Humans needed to sound a little more Human. I think that the audience needs to get invested on one of the characters more. The lighting was a bit too hot, at least in the final DVD version. It looked blown out in many places. The lighting could have been finessed some more, and the color controlled better. The angles, composition, lensing and camera movement were GREAT. As well as was the editing. The action was pretty damn good for a low budget film. I've done martial arts in my films too, and trust me, it's really freakin hard. I only have one request. On your next film, please no more graphics identifying people and places. You don't need them. The audience will figure it out. And finally, I want to see what this team does next. It is obvious to me that they respect the audience because they bust their asses to deliver as much as they can. The only thing they lack is a little experience. The only way to gain experience is to make more films. Carry on!

The Only question that came to my mind after watching this film was - Wowwwwwwwwwwww how can someone make such an awful film and still get 9.5 rating in IMDb??????? I mean there are bad movies and then there are bad movies, this one beats them all to the pole. A half developed storyline, bad action, even worse acting and some very confused concepts eg- the ministry of offense, CORE(is it a paramilitary organization or govt) etc etc...... this in all sums up the whole movie.But credit must go to the producer for his willingness to produce such a bad movie and provide so many bad actors with employment.All in all don't ever never watch this movie.....i got the DVD from a friend of mine (who wanted to take revenge on me....for burning his steak)

Has a lot of issues, and the fact that it started as a short film project is obvious now that I've read that on here. But, still, there is some skill and talent in this production.First, the good. Some of the action in the latter half of the movie is actually pretty good. Way over-edited, but it is still decent. The best part of the entire film is the soldier guys (including Radius) killing all the corporate types. Much of this sequence is handled well. While much of it is ludicrous and defies belief, the sequence is still well put together.The bad is obvious. The plot is scattered and hard to follow, much of the acting is bad, characters appear and disappear for far too long, etc. In particular, I think this film could have benefited from a major cut down of footage. It could have been 20 minutes shorter, easily. Also, I found the Radius part of the storyline much more interesting, even though it is only half-finished in some ways (like a guy who says he knows Radius's father - but then this is never referenced again). The alien stuff almost seems like an afterthought, and the film would have been better without it.Still, this is not a piece of crap. It's worth a watch.

I was confused from the first 2 Min's of the film!!.. I found it boring, confusing, poorly acted! I have seen soaps with better scripts. In fact.. script was probably on the back of a postage stamp! i turned it off after watching the first hour... shockingly POOR! 2/10 is been generous!! Don't waste your time with the movie!!! Unless you enjoy bad acting... and how the h*** did this get on DVD, in fact someone on benefits could of fronted this movie!LOL this sums the whole movie...quote from the over view "Plot Synopsis: This plot synopsis is empty."this is a empty movie and should never of got past the "short film project"
