As a New Zealander, it's a lot easier for me to understand the accent, I think. Some of the people subtitled, like the man talking about his wife and the gangsters' boss, were understandable (to me) to the point of actually pulling me out of the movie while others I could fully understand.
There are so many possibilities in the why they are there, I would have trouble going with the 'escaped prisoner' idea purely because there were so very many alien weapons around

I was thinking the amount of weaponry was rather consistent with the prison ship theory. There would be some weapons, but not enough to, say, mount a resistance against the humans.
As for the infection theory, perhaps "prawning" is a common pitfall of interstellar space travel, as the parasites are widely spread. The aliens may have a treatment for it, but it requires returning to their homeworld (1-1/2 years to get there, and 1-1/2 years back).
I should add... one detail I like about foreign films as an advantage over mainstream American cinema: they are much more open to interpretation. Americans have a tendency to overexplain everything, underline every point four times. Sometimes, I'd prefer to let my imagination loose, and take some time to chew on what I have just seen.

I was reading up on this movie, and decided to check out some theories around it, as I was devising my own. I'd found out that some people had a similar view about it, too. One, which is posted here. You have a few great ideas, and some to think about
