El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
2019
***
Director: Vince Gilligan
Cast: Aaron Paul, Jesse Plemons, Scott MacArthur, Scott Shepherd, Charles Baker, Matt Jones, Robert Forster
This entertaining but thoroughly unnecessary spin-off movie serves as an epilogue to Breaking Bad, and it continues right where the series ended. Jesse Pinkman, on the run from the law, attempts to get his hands on some money, buy a fake passport, and leave the country, but he keeps running into obstacles. Jesse's redemption story offers familiar humour, violence, and pacing, so much so that it feels like an extended episode of TV rather than a film.
