TV review: Aaron Paul in 'El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie'

is now well older than Jesse Pinkman. As Pinkman — the young naif turned assistant meth cook turned slave whose liberation from literal shackles provided one of the most resounding moments of triumph in that series’ final installment — Paul is, now, harder-looking, perhaps a bit thicker, wearier than ever before.

This serves the character, one who has every reason to have aged more than six years during his time in captivity. And it helps “El Camino,” a mixed-bag continuation that undermines “Breaking Bad” nearly as often as it provides succor for fans, make its most elegant and oblique points. After all, an older-seeming Jesse is the one that the events of “Breaking Bad” have produced.

Yet there’s an obviousness — one that haunts the long-tail legacy of “Breaking Bad” — in the title; in flashbacks depicting various “Breaking Bad” characters, all dead in the movie’s timeline, urging Jesse forward; in Jesse’s action-hero clarity of purpose; and in the resounding gruesomeness of the abuse he is shown to have suffered at the hands of his masters.

as it delves further into the “Breaking Bad” mythos; little story about characters from that series remains to be told in a compelling and original way.

Meh, I thought it was kinda boring.

Too boring netflix $nflx... I am not finishing it... I got to Jessie waking up in the AM when his buddies go to watch the news when it is still dark outside and I was like.. damn, not even continuity within a few seconds makes any sense... lol

DPD_ Now I have sads.

DPD_ Overrated. Overhyped.

This review is all over the place. As though they’re having 100 thoughts in one sentence.

Decent film, it picked up at an appropriate place for the diehard Breaking Bad fans. Jesse's journey and metamorphosis was a difficult one full of torture, betrayal, and heartache.

don't know if you guys heard, but the TV show ended and this is now a FILM and what y'all have published is a movie review
