Review of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) by Fungifeet — 11 Oct 2019
El Camino manages to recapture both the gritty story telling of Breaking Bad along side the amazing cinematography and writing Vince Gilligan is known for. Aaron Paul slides back into a much more traumatized Jesse Pinkman's skin while making the differences in the character seem natural due to the events of Breaking Bad's last season.
The film deals with the blatant aging of characters by simply doing nothing and i'm so glad that Vince Gilligan opted to not use digital de-aging as it would have made certain characters feel more out of place.
All of the Breaking Bad cameos help further Jesse's story and do not feel forced or merely used for fan service, without going into any detail none of the cameos take away from the film although I wish they found an alternative for a certain bald cap used towards the end of the movie.
El Camino truly is a fitting coda to Jesse Pinkman's character from the masterpiece pop culture tv show that was Breaking Bad and Aaron Paul's performance given throughout the film further solidifies everyone's belief that he is an outstanding actor worthy of an award for his portrayal of Pinkman.
