The new film “Blackberry” has a semi-documentary enticement, tnyfrontrow writes. The business details are juicy, but the characters are underdeveloped.

I too remember the clicking physical keyboard of my long-ago BlackBerry fondly, but the nostalgia that the movie “BlackBerry” stokes is, above all, cinematic. The movie, directed by Matt Johnson, looks backward to an era before backstory, to a time when movies just told a story without fretting about characters’ histories or psychological twists, prioritizing the clean lines of a narrative over the examination of its real-world implications and political underpinnings.

This partnership yields the cautionary tale of two technical geniuses who make a deal with the devil, which goes exactly as you’d expect: one is sacrificed to him, and the other goes over to the dark side.
