- rahssan448. april 2026A great movie about the rise and fall of Blackberry and Research In Motion. It shows how a once dominant company can fade away and become a memory in the business world.
- rene.5210. juni 2025Great art piece. Done quasi documentary style. Terrific acting and stellar performance by the lead. A wonderful piece of tech history, warts and warts and more warts and all.
- Spaddassin9. januar 2026Good movie but sad storie...
- Stevedores17. desember 2025Prime Matt Johnson.
- Kevin Ward2. juli 2025I’m not as nostalgic for Blackberry as I am say, Tetris, or Air Jordan’s. I never owned a Blackberry. But damn, this movie is really good. Jay Baruchel and Glen Howerton both kill in this. I mean, it’s absolutely perfect casting, but they also happen to be really good. It doesn’t rely on nostalgia to hit the emotional punches either. Yes, there are a couple needle drops from the era and a film-grain montage (was video still grainy in 2003?), but above all it’s a fascinating story. One of the best films of the year, I’ll probably rewatch it again with my wife soon. Holy crap, I did NOT recognize Michael Ironside though.
- mickerdoo26. november 2025One of the better product bio pics out there. Howerton is a force and the story is really engaging. Doug was a great balancing character.
- Sam18. november 2025the second jay baruchel hair was a little rough but bald glenn was so good in this
- Michael27. oktober 2025I went in to this thinking it was just another biography but it turned out to be fantastic
- Manuel Frangis15. april 2025I just watched BlackBerry, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie blew me away. I did not expect a movie about the rise and fall of a phone company to be this intense, this funny, or this weirdly emotional. It pulls you in with fast dialogue, chaotic energy, and characters who feel just real enough to make everything hit. It is part tech biopic, part business thriller, and part comedy — and it nails all three at once. The movie tells the story of how BlackBerry went from a scrappy tech startup to the biggest name in smartphones, and then how it lost everything. But instead of going the typical serious, dramatic route, it keeps things messy and personal. You are not watching a clean rise and fall. You are watching people improvise their way through history, and it makes every scene feel alive. Jay Baruchel plays Mike Lazaridis, the brain behind the technology, and he disappears into the role. He is awkward, soft-spoken, and clearly brilliant, but he is also someone who struggles to handle pressure and conflict. Watching him slowly change as the company grows is one of the best parts of the movie. It is subtle, but it hits. He goes from being the guy in the background to someone trying to keep everything from crashing down. Glenn Howerton is on another level as Jim Balsillie. He is loud, aggressive, impulsive, and absolutely magnetic in every scene. The second he shows up, the energy shifts completely. He pushes the company forward, but also helps speed up its downfall. His performance is intense and funny at the same time, and the dynamic between him and Baruchel is what drives the whole movie. The way the movie is shot adds to the vibe. It has this documentary-style look with shaky cameras, zooms, and close-ups that make you feel like you are right there in the middle of the meetings, the arguments, and the breakdowns. It feels raw and unfiltered, like you are watching something that was not meant to be polished. That style makes the whole thing feel more real and more stressful — in a good way. The writing is smart and quick. The dialogue flies fast, but it never loses you. There is a lot of technical talk, but it is always clear what is happening and why it matters. The humor sneaks up on you. It is dry, awkward, and sometimes uncomfortable, but it fits the story perfectly. The movie never turns the characters into jokes, but it knows how ridiculous the world of tech startups can be, and it uses that to its advantage. What really surprised me is how emotional it got by the end. You start off thinking this is just about business and tech, but by the time it wraps up, it is about pride, ambition, friendship, and what happens when success pulls people in different directions. You care about these guys, even when they mess up. That emotional core is what makes the movie stand out. I give BlackBerry 5 out of 5 stars because it is fast, sharp, funny, and unexpectedly moving. It is not just a story about phones. It is a story about people who wanted to change the world and what happened when they almost did. Overall BlackBerry is a brilliant, high energy film that turns a tech story into something real and unforgettable. I loved every second of it.
- Dave Barnes12. mars 2025Good film that works across a number of levels. Good story, well acted and it doesnt miraculously finish with a happy ending!
- Ismail10. september 2025Another great movie for technology people Another classic Such as The founder Jobs The social network
- henryp7219. juli 2025Great film very accurate and attention grabbing
- Jacob O’Neal4. juli 2025Who’d have thought the geeky kid from Undeclared would go on to make some really solid dramatic work? By that, I mean Jay Baruchel. He and Glen Howerton of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star as the co-CEO’s of the newly formed company that created BlackBerry and changed the tech world forever. This film was fascinating not only for its look into the story of BlackBerry but because the actors were amazing. Both lead actors were so good that I forgot they were people I recognized. They really lost themselves in their roles. Howerton has always showcased some amazing talent on TV but this movie shows even more rage than Dennis Reynolds could muster. Howerton is a near perfect coiled spring. Baruchel was so perfect as the nerdy tech geek who was never sure about his partner and doesn’t trust him. It’s almost as if we are reading his thoughts with every expression. The movie itself was fascinating. But I’ve always had this theory when it comes to a good versus a great film. It takes three elements - acting, directing and writing. If two of the three are outstanding then it’s a good movie. If all three fire on all cylinders then you have a great film, like The Shawshank Redemption or Citizen Kane. I know I’ve said “three” and I stand by it, but music, editing, sound design and everything else obviously play into it. But you can have a great movie with just three elements as mentioned. This one got two elements - directing and acting. The writing was just a little cliched and followed the typical docudrama style. It’s not a bad script, but we’ve seen this formula in these movies a thousand times. It was a solid script, but not great. If either of the other two elements didn’t work this movie would have been a disaster. Instead it was near great and Howerton needs more roles.
