It felt like several seemingly disconnected stories being told at the same time with awkward jumps from one to another, which ruined any successful buildup of suspense, atmosphere and character development. It seemed they tried to squeeze all of the original story into 1.5 hours movie, without omitting anything and as result got this kaleidoscope of rapidly exchanging plots and characters... IMHO, of course. The movie seem to get largely positive reviews, so perhaps I'm in a minority about this one.
