The all appeared a bit strange, to be honest - an awful lot of FULL CAPS that are unnecessary - kind of distracted from the story - which, incidentally, I figured seemed to be quite good; it was just that I found it difficult going. I am guessing that this is a spec script, and that you don't have any interest from pro companies, yet it reads something more akin to a shooting script -- too much direction; too many camera angles etc etc. A spec script needs to be cleaner than this - a simple body of work to see if it's worth taking further.

Sorry I can't be more positive.

You may have trouble getting many people to read your script.  At 154 pages, it's far too long.  Your logline is also too long, overly-detailed and lacks punch.  And the fact that you don't review scripts gives no one reason to review yours.  It's a quid pro quo thing.
