Review: Blackberry, The Best Business film ever made... in Canada.

My review of a shockingly great business film that appeared out of nowhere, and how it's themes strike at the core of startup culture and the key questions around technology and business in an incredibly way.

Every time Balsillie got angry in this movie, it was impossible not to see Dennis Reynolds in Howerton's performance. I expected him to start screaming about being a golden god when he was attacking that payphone.

I didn't realize Howerton was Dennis before I looked it up...

Afterwards you see it, but unprompted it was just "Wow this is an entertaining performance."

I haven’t seen the movie but that was my sense just from the trailer. I don’t know if that’s because Howerton just doesn’t have much range, or if it’s because I’ve only seen him as Dennis for 15 years.
