Marco L @decatur555 Sep 11, 2026 A careful, tense and very respectful epilogue for Jesse Pinkman. The series already had an almost perfect ending, so this film did not need to rewrite anything or compete with it. What it offers is smaller, but emotionally valuable: the chance to follow Jesse through the aftermath and see whether someone so broken can still find a way out. Vince Gilligan captures the original tone beautifully: long silences, slow tension, meaningful objects, threatening spaces and a visual style that makes a room, a car or a desert feel dangerous. Aaron Paul is magnificent, carrying trauma, fear and exhaustion without turning Jesse into a clean hero. Some may argue it was unnecessary, and in terms of plot it does not add a huge new piece to the universe. But for those who cared about Jesse, it matters. It uses nostalgia as a wound rather than a celebration and gives one of television's most beloved characters a modest, melancholic and deeply earned farewell.

Specifically an ending, walking dead type of situation with el camino. Next steps if you would like to say. See more David N @Nolan305 Aug 21, 2026 It has a great to get the band back together feel about it. Not able to deliver the same hyper quality of story or as engaging as the series but still very good. Just as well acted and great to see the development of Jesse’s story. See more Count I @Locutus Aug 15, 2026 Nice to get closure on Jesse’s story and an expansion on his story. It was going to struggle to keep the insane quality of the story line though and therefore that’s why it isn’t 5 stars for me. See more Alex J @RT51904888 Aug 7, 2026 What a disappointing follow up to the greatest piece of art ever made. Gilligan et al misunderstand the story they told, apparently, as Jesse’s story does not need a conclusion. He was not the main character of BB, and the end of his arc neither serves the story or our appetite. The best compliment I can pay this is “forgettable.” See more Charles S @RT56165336 Aug 2, 2026 I like how people don't care his character shot an innocent man in the face and pity Jesse. They also think you won't notice the one dude gained like 50 fucking pounds, which I guess is pretty funny. The rest is just boring bullshit. See more Read all reviews
