BlackBerry Review

"BlackBerry" is a riveting addition to the MoneyBro genre, with charismatic performances and captivating dialogue. While exploring the corrupt world of capitalism and morally questionable characters, the film manages to be both suspenseful and strangely moving. Its kinetic storytelling and well-chosen soundtrack create an action-packed atmosphere, making it a memorable viewing experience. Directed by Matt Johnson, the handheld style adds an intriguing energy, while the unique structure, focusing on the beginning and end of the story, sets it apart from traditional narratives. The rise and fall of the BlackBerry and its creators, portrayed by Jay Baruchel and Matt Johnson, are depicted in a compressed yet engaging manner, with lively montages reminiscent of heist films. Amidst the absurdity, the film delves into the challenges faced by these creative geniuses in a capitalist world. "BlackBerry" offers a fascinating glimpse into the tech industry's dynamics and the complexities of success.

TRIVIA

Trivia

The photo shown of the engineers together at Research In Motion is inspired by a popular photo of the id Software team from 1992. Matt Johnson is John Romero and Jay Baruchel is John Carmack in the photo.

Glenn Howerton debuted his look for this movie while filming The Always Sunny podcast.

Despite being one of the rare Canadian movies to get as wide a release (approximately 200 theaters) in Canada as mainstream Hollywood movies get in the country, the movie was a huge box office failure in Canada, only grossing $300,000 its first weekend.

Although the Blackberry line of smartphones was discontinued, the business itself, Blackberry Limited, is still a going concern as a technology company focusing on cybersecurity.
