Breaking Badis the rare pop polish phenomenon that many consider to have a perfect ending , capping off its run of five critically acclaimed seasons back in 2013 . That is why there was always an implicit in risk with returning to the well and adding another last chapter to the story , even though fan were always onboard with Aaron Paul reprize his iconic role of Jesse Pinkman in some capacity . However , through spinoff seriesBetter Call Saul(headed towards its 5th time of year ) , Maker Vince Gilligan has proven time and clip again there ’s plentifulness of ground impart to cover in his Albuquerque underworld , and does so again here . El Camino : A relegate Bad Movieis a square and emotional epilogue to the TV play , featuring another standout carrying out by Paul .
El Caminopicks up mere second afterBreaking Badfinale " Felina " , with Jesse speed away from Uncle Jack ’s chemical compound . Unfortunately for him , authorities are investigating the bloody shootout that took place there , and have named Jesse a person of stake . Attempting to keep a low profile and evade the police , Jesse draft the aid of his unaired Friend Skinny Pete ( Charles Baker ) and Badger ( Matt Jones ) , as he looks to carve out a newfangled hereafter for himself and ( hopefully ) find the peace he yearn for .
Written and direct by Gilligan , El Caminois successful in being an essential installment in this saga , never feeling superfluous or piece on . In many respect , this is Jesse ’s personal " Felina " , exploring the fiber and his trauma in ways the original show ( understandably ) could n’t as it built up to its decision . The end result is a gripping story of a man trying to turn tail his tortured past , with Paul slide seamlessly back into the part after all these years . Paul , who won three Emmys during his time onBreaking Bad , does some of his all right work here , with a compelling turn that exhibit how far Jesse ’s come as a lineament and conveys Pinkman ’s desperation in a grounded and organic fashion . Once again , Jesse is the warmness and person of aBreaking Badstory , and Paul is more than up for the challenge of carrying the moving picture on his shoulder .
break Badwas always a very cinematic show , so it ’s no surprise its trademark aesthetic lends itself well to the feature film spiritualist . ThoughEl Camino’sbudget is considerably little when compared to most movies , Gilligan stretches those resourcefulness as far as they ’ll go , ensuring the picture show ’s production values converge the in high spirits standard of what devotee have a bun in the oven . bolster by Marshall Adams ' motion-picture photography and Judy Rhee ’s production designing , El Caminodoesn’t seem like a typical video movie and would be deserving seeing on the big screen if potential . Gilligan further hone his foxiness as a helmsman by staging multiple tense and nerve - racking sequences . El Caminoisn’t just " action - pack " , but it ’s still a stressful journeying for Jesse as he face up numerous obstruction along the fashion .
One of the strength ofBetter Call Saulis itsBreaking Badreferences are organic , and that ’s more or less the same approach Gilligan takes here . It goes without sayingEl Caminois extremely indebted to its predecessor , but everything there is n’t anything that play as empty devotee serving . In some shoes , Gilligan fleshes out and raise elements ofBreaking Bad , giving already strong aspects one last layer of poignancy . Although , it must be saidEl Caminomakes little attempt to make itself accessible to newcomer , which means it does n’t really work as a standalone film anyone with a Netflix subscription can turn on and enjoy . Some level of conversance withBreaking Badis almost a demand to fully revalue what Gilligan ’s doing , but that ’s not a real slight againstEl Camino . This is , after all , a sequel to five seasons of TV and it knows what its target audience is .
El Caminois a great treat forBreaking Badfans ; it ’s like a lose episode from 2013 that was only identify in the bank vault now . Some may call into question if the picture show is truly " needed " in the grander compass of the franchise , but when the citation undulate , it ’s difficult to think about Jesse ’s story without this chapter . Jesse was always a Colorado - lead onBreaking Bad , and if Walter White was able to receive closure to his arc , it ’s only fitting Jesse gets the same . Breaking Badviewers were all but ensure to watchEl Caminoas soon as potential , but they ’ll be happy to know the film does n’t do anything to sully the property ’s sterling reputation . If anything , it adds to theBreaking Badlegacy and prove Gilligan is still at the top of his secret plan .
