To be honest there was not much I liked about this. 

The story never came together in a way I found convincing. The characters were all pretty dislikeable, but in a way that seemed to be there purely to create antagonism in the plot. I didn't believe any of the characters, and even their motivations seemed to be a little ridiculous. I was wondering at some point if it was actually supposed to be satire, as the characters all seemed like caricatures of real people.
