Johnson directs and co-wrote the script with Matthew Miller, based on the 2015 book Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry by Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff.
The soundtrack by Jay McCarrol is good, as I recall, but all I could find online is this 4:47 clip on YouTube. Twelve songs are listed on imdb (here are eleven), including Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks––appropriate because Lazaridis and Fregin are from Waterloo, Canada.
Baruchel was last blogged for the How to Train Your Dragon movies (one, two). Johnson, Miller, and McCarrol have worked together on several projects, none of which I've seen. Howerton is best known for 164 episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and 42 of A.P. Bio, albeit looking very different in those series than as the buttoned-down Jim in this movie.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics are sweet on this one, averaging 98 and 92%, respectively. We rented it on Apple TV/iTunes on June 14.
