Based on Jacquie McNish's 2015 book Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry, the latest from Canadian filmmaker Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche, The Dirties) tells the story of RIM company founders Mike Lazaridis (Jay Baruchel), Douglas Fregin (Johnson), and future co-CEO Jim Balsillie (a bald Glenn Howerton) and their invention of the first addictive smartphone, dubbed colloquially the CrackBerry. It’s a rise and fall story—more The Social Network than Air, but with more laughs than both put together.
