After six long years, the BreakingBad sequel is here. Read Alan Sepinwall’s obsessively detailed, spoiler-packed, dots-connecting recap of ‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’
creator Vince Gilligan went to extreme lengths to keep the very existence of this movie, let alone its contents, a secret from the outside world for as long as possible. But from the moment word leaked out, there was wild speculation as to what it would be about, how much ground it might cover, and who from the original series — alive or dead by the end of it — might make an appearance.leaned so heavily on what Gilligan liked to call “the in-between moments” that most crime stories skip over.
When the movie first reveals Neil and Jesse’s prior connection, it feels like too much of a coincidence, even for a town with a relatively small and interconnected underworld like Albuquerque. But on further consideration, it makes more sense than if Neil and Casey were just some random thieves who showed up at Todd’s apartment right after Jesse figured out where the money was hidden.
Which brings us to the next problem, and the most useful bit of business the original series established for a story like this: Ed the disappearer, played as always with unflappable charm by the great character actor Robert Forster. Because Ed had been first alluded to by Saul Goodman all the way back in Season Four’s “Bullet Points,” then almost used by Jesse in “Confessions,” it didn’t feel like a cheat when his services were finally called upon by both Walt and Saul in “Granite State.
And my goodness, those Todd scenes! Todd isn’t the first murderer Jesse Plemons has played , but it’s still startling to see how convincing he can be as this utterly remorseless, dead-eyed goober. What was fascinating about Todd on the original show, and what’s even more unsettling now, is how his fundamental polite blandness doesn’t seem in conflict with his willingness to kill everyone that could cause him the slightest bit of trouble.
In case you haven’t seen “4 Days Out” lately, Walt is convinced in this moment that his death from cancer is imminent, so he’s more introspective, but also gentler with, and more protective of, Jesse than he is at many other points of their partnership. He wants Jesse to be OK.
