So following on from my catch up of watching the Breaking Bad boxset. I thought I’d conclude it with the follow on movie. If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad, then you may not get the concept and story-line. So maybe do that first. If you haven't seen it then what I say below may ruin your experience. So this is a movie that continues the story of Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul) after the last scenes of Breaking Bad. Jesse is escaping form where he had been held hostage, we see him racing from the scene in a Chevrolet "El Camino". Jesse soon notices red and blue flashing light lighting up the night sky. He pulls over to allow the Police cars to pass without him being seen (they are heading to the place where Breaking Bad had its ending). Jesse soon realises that he is at the forefront of a mass manhunt. He needs to do something? Does he leave town?
So the movie goes through his exploits and we see essential flashbacks to parts within the Breaking Bad Series, where we see cameos from Mike, Walt, Todd and a few more. While at this point i want to just state that one thing that i didn't like in the movie was, small attention to detail. Now, this maybe because i have very recently watched the series, but i noticed that Todd (played by Jesse Plemons) had gained a bit of weight. He is appearing in flashbacks, these would be during the final season, and he looks bigger. I know, small detail, but with the precision that Vince Gilligan (Director & Co Writer) had gone to all the way through the boxset, i just thought it was a bit careless and unBreaking Badlike. That said, i did enjoy the way the movie panned out and the action was good, and i think that most Breaking Bad fans will see this as a decent lid on the whole world that this has been playing out over the 5 Seasons of the boxset.
