Wissenswertes
Jim Balsillie originally didn't know what to make of Glenn Howerton's performance of him until he saw the film with a crowd who reacted well to Howerton's performance.

Patzer
It was not just the competition of Apple's iPhone that bedeviled Research In Motion's Blackberry share in the smartphone market, but there was also the rise of Google's Android operating system. This OS provided numerous competitors with inexpensive software for their own handset smartphones, achieving a marketing ubiquity so overwhelming to RiM's proprietary software that the final Blackberry handset products used Android software instead.

Zitate
Mike: Why would anybody want a phone without a keyboard?

Alternative Versionen
Also released as a 3-part miniseries on streaming channel AMC+ under the title "BlackBerry: The Limited Series". This version contains 16 minutes of footage originally omitted from the theatrical edit because it was deemed to be relevant mostly to Canadian audiences, such as Balsillie's love of hockey and his attempts to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins team. Each episode focuses on a different year (1996, 2003 and 2007).

Great docufilm.

Aside from the constant annoying fast zoom-ins and shaky cam "The Office" style filming - which I can't stand, this was one heck of an enjoyable film. The two hour runtime flew by with the excellent pacing and the smooth cohesive and well-written screenplay. Jay Baruchel nailed his character with an all around great performance, as did Glenn Howerton. For that matter, all casting and performances were spot on, as was the cinematography and score. The story was mind-blowing, even if you never owned a BlackBerry, just to see a slice of Steve Jobs as the Canadian version of a small start-up becoming a world dominating tech empire, and that empire's fall from grace.
