I watched it not too long ago too. I thought it was just fine but I definitely had issues with it.
I like to think of it as a mix between Trainspotting and Kids (yes, it predates both of those movies but for the sake of comparison).

Trainspotting in the sense that the movie didn't have a real traditional plot and stuff just happens. And Kids because the movie is suppose to play up just how bad the world they live in is and how despicable everyone seems to be.
Unlike both of those movies, it doesn't have the aspect that make those things work. Just the negatives.

Trainspotting works because the characters are layered and likable (even though they aren't the best people), so with that it was strong enough to hold up the movie's lack of plot structure. And Kids (mostly) work because there's a clear narrative that the characters are working towards.
In MIIS the characters, while convincing and we'll acted, they were written to be so one note with very little growth with a very unclear narrative. The only character I somewhat liked that I felt had some layers to him was the kid that converted to Muslim.
