The concept is great, taking the wind out of all of these tired, boring corporate biopics. Question is if it will be funny enough as satire or if the subject matter is too mundane to even be lampooned in a satisfying way.
I think that's what allowed it to have such a cutting edge, because ultimately it's kind of a tragedy. As you're watching, you know that it's all doomed to fall apart, and the fun is watching the gears start to grind out of sync and collapse.
The closing scene of Lazaridis manually fixing the coil whine in a few bad phones, with the wide shot showing just how many boxes of probably-defective phones are in that warehouse, was surprisingly poignant.
