Before Breaking Bad sends Jesse on his way, there needs to be an enormous amount of investment in gap filling and character re-development before we get there. El Camino is to Breaking Bad as A Very Brady Renovation is to The Brady Bunch - although most of the cast are reunited, there's really no connection to their 5 Seasons of stories, besides a house. This film is nice send off to the character but there are way too many thoughts and actions of Jesse Pinkman that are way out of character - if you are expecting this to be delivered as a one last hurrah of the Breaking Bad family, you will be seriously disappointed. On it's own El Camino is a nice supplement to the Breaking Bad Universe, but, saying goodbye to Jesse Pinkman right now is not anything significant when you weigh the overall 5 Season run.

I was delighted returning to the BB universe, and I'm happy with the way they chose to end it. The movie satisfactorily concludes Jesse Pinkman's arc. And just like the series, music is handled well, in particular, a scene involving Meth Damon and a truck. Flashbacks are used very well within the narrative, explaining Jesse's movements and motives, and foreshadowing future events. The movie is shot well, nice and crisp cinematography, lit with very neo-noir lighting.
There are also other returning characters from the show, most memorably Todd, aka Meth Damon. The film is very much in the same tone as the series, dangerous but sprinkled with light and dark humour, and many great tension building scenes.
