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
Although it does have agreements with Canadian regulatory bodies like the Ontario Securities Commission the SEC, which is an American government entity, has no authority to conduct independent investigations within Canada's borders.

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).

Can biographies be fast-paced? Here's the answer! [+77%]

Between this, Air, and Tetris, I think this one takes the cake. The central performances (Jay Baruchel & Glenn Howerton) are fantastic, and both manage to captivate us with their distinct mannerisms and quirks. The story itself is very compellingly told, with details covered from multiple angles, including business, tech, marketing, employee relations, and more. There's no question that Hollywood loves discussing corporate wins and losses (well, mostly wins) and BlackBerry is certainly among the finest I've seen. Howerton (playing Jim Balsillie) is at his best when he loses his cool, throwing temper tantrums at almost everyone, including contemporaries, executives, and even private jet pilots. The rise and fall of BlackBerry was always going to be an exciting story, and director Matt Johnson does an excellent job with the material in hand.
