Displaced (2006)
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.

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"
What can i say. There is nothing watchable about this one. Just don't waste your time or money. I mean i can understand that u don't have any money for a decent movie but this ain't even a movie. No story, no acting, no visual effects, no sound effects, no acting, nothing at all. It starts with some alien background, then it just moves to action. I can't even say that you are going to see some good karate moves in it. I might be harsh about this movie. Because i just saw it and i can't believe i spent 90 minutes for this. Yeah the movie is 90 minutes but there is nothing in it. What i recommend to you is never watch a movie without reading at least a couple comments about it at IMDb.com .
Its not the worst movie i've ever seen, but it comes real close to it...the stunts are OK, but you just keep wondering why the hell is nobody shooting their gun at the freakin'"class 4" when he's right in front of them, being surrounded by 5 people!! Second of all, the acting, it's just plain afwul. No emotions, and when there are, they are misplaced.I guess if you like English movies with no depth, bad effects, bad acting but a lot of fighting and shooting then you could watch this, otherwise just leave it...p.s. i guess the ones voting this movie 10 have probably been used as props!
