The only problem I had the first time around, or only large problem, was the shoot-out scene in the hotel which seemed gratuitous, ridiculous, and not adequately explained (why would we all just start shooting at each other in a hotel? just because someone else is shooting?) the character motivations didn't seem to work enough there. However it was amusing which I think was partially the point.
