Why don't you like it?

I'm not entirely sure what I think about it at times... I think there's one message in it I like, which is to stand up for oneself -- but I don't like that they use brutual fighting in conjunction with that message. I think the parts I enjoyed the most were the Ikea popups and how insomnia was portrayed from the perspective of the viewer (been there, done that).

I don't like the protagonist at all, or the outcome... I think while I can appreciate the concept of stopping big corporations from making a buck off people's weaknesses, I don't see the ending as replacing that system with anything appreciably better. It's a pile of nihilistic wank.
