Rokunin no Usotsuki na Daigakusei / 6 lying University Students jmovie review

The premise of the movie Rokunin no Usotsuki na Daigakusei is that 6 uni students are applying for a job at a prestigious IT company. Everyone has their own special skills and they were told to work on a project proposal together and everyone got along and worked together as a team hoping that all 6 would be able to get in the company together.

Half way, the company emails everyone and tells that they only have 1 position open so only 1 of the 6 can get the job. The 6 students gather the next day at a meeting room in the company and are told by HR who are observing that the students have to decide amongst themselves who is the most suitable person for the job within the time limit of 6 hours? (can't remember exactly)

The students decided that they would vote for one person every hour who they thought was most suitable and no one could vote for themself. After the first round of voting, Hamabe Minami notices a huge envelope with 6 small envelopes containing the worst lie/secret of each of the 6 people in the room. 

Rokunin no Usotsuki na Daigakusei is a closed room mystery box as the 6 people try to decide who the vote for and whether or not to open the mystery envelopes. It is a fun movie as each envelope is opened, you try to figure out whether the secret is true and who is the mastermind using the envelopes to win the votes.

Akaso Eiji's super idealistic leader character can be annoying especially when he pleads with everyone not to open the envelopes. The story is about how no one can know anyone from interviews and I know people who are good at interviews but are bad at work but that's why there are probation periods, as long as management has the balls to do it.

The thing about Rokunin no Usotsuki na Daigakusei is that the twist is interesting but the ending got a 'so what?' from me. Nice puzzle box but I do not care about the reveal in that it does not really have any consequence. I don't dislike the movie but I would not recommend anyone watch it. Meh from me.

On a side note, the movie I wanted to watch during this trip was Umi no Chinmoku starring Motoki Masahiro and plenty of my favourite actors but I think there was only 1 noon show. I like going to an early morning screening, have early lunch and can do whatever I want instead of not being able to do anything in the morning having to kill time for a noon showing.

Another thing is the cinema showed the trailer for the Oshi no Ko movie so I know what happens in the tv series and it is seriously WTF. I don't think I want to try the series anymore.
