I had always planned to watch 'June 9' on June 9th, but every year on that date I forget and so I finally just decided to watch it here in mid January. The film was not great I'm sad to say.
Man were these some tough characters to get onside with. Some movies just fail to make their characters likeable. This film on the other hand seemed to go out of its way to make them as unlikeable as possible. A strange choice considering it then needs us to care about their fate a little while later in the film.
There are actually some good moments in this film, however they are way too few and far between. The film takes forever to get going and by the time it does it is hard to care any longer. A generous 5/10.

Goes out of its way to make its characters extremely unlikeable
Pointless
A group of a**holes act like a**holes for 75 minutes, then in the last 10 minutes, reap their karma. Roll credits.
It's really that simple, yet it drags on seemingly forever, because there's nothing but a handheld camera filming the a**holes "pranking" victims that one knows nothing about other than that they are victimized by the a**holes. Oh, except that some of the victims are kinda creepy, as they're seen as filmed (by the a**holes) in their homes, standing at attention and staring blankly at nothing in the middle of the night. No explanation for this behavior to be found.
No character or plot development; absolutely no sympathetic characters; the only emotion it stirred in me with its "shocking" ending was relief: It's finally over!
If there's a point to this exercise in tedium, it certainly eluded me.
