The rise and fall of the world's first smartphone
There's something about stories like this. How some people convey the essence of their vision in a company or product, reaching enormous success only to end in a catastrophic demise. Stories like this are proof enough that no company is too big to fail, and anything can happen anytime. No matter how many riches you make overnight, they might disappear overnight as well. Stories like this seem unreal, yet they aren't.
Blackberry follows the parabolic rise and ultimate demise of the world's first smartphone. A company that, at its height, controlled 45% of the cellphone market, while today it's 0%.
The movie is really entertaining and enjoyable. The hardships people involved went through to stay ahead of the curve in an ever competitive market is something worth watching. Glenn Howerton is fantastic as Jim, a bossy character that is always funny in those situations where as a professional CEO he has to deal with an amateurish environment when trying to run the company.
