Critics Consensus

Entertaining if not essential, El Camino adds a satisfying belated coda to the Breaking Bad story -- led by a career-best performance from Aaron Paul.

Angie Han Mashable There's nothing about El Camino that is essential; while it won't tarnish your memories of the original series, it won't reframe or enhance them, either. It's a nice ride with some old friends. Sometimes, that's just enough. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR For fans of the show who know these characters, that's a welcome conclusion for a story we didn't even know we missed until Vince Gilligan showed it to us. Nov 23, 2019 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com It's really well shot, really well acted, and it's constantly engaging. Rated: B+ Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Aaron Charles InSession Film White is one of the great characters of recent memory. He dominates the story of Breaking Bad like few characters. Pinkman doesn’t carry this story in quite the same way. Rated: C May 10, 2024 Full Review Charlie Ashby But Why Tho? A Geek Community Fans of Breaking Bad will be delighted with El Camino, which not only adds to the world of the show – but as a love letter to Jesse Pinkman, even manages to improve upon an ending many thought couldn’t be beaten. Rated: 9/10 Apr 16, 2023 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv A fun ride. A showcase for Aaron Paul. Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D El Camino is to Jesse, what Felina was to Walt. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Claudio C El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) The Fate of Jesse Pinkman (11,680 – 08 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) escapes from Jack’s facility by crashing into the gate with the stolen car and flees from the police. He arrives at the house of Skinny Pete (Charles Baker), who is playing a video game with Badger (Matt Jones), completely paranoid, dazed and confused. Skinny gives food for Jesse, since he is starving, and he falls asleep after eating. When he wakes up, he takes a bath and calls Old Joe (Larry Hankin) to get rid of the stolen car. But Joe finds a tracking device and flees in his truck, leaving the car behind. Skinny plots a plan to allow Jesse to escape in Badger car and they give their money to Jesse. Meanwhile, Jesse recalls moments with Mike (Jonathan Banks), Todd (Jesse Plemons) and Walter White (Bryan Cranston). He chooses to go to Todd’s apartment to look for his hidden money. Out of the blue, two police officers appear, and Jesse hides himself. Soon he learns that the two guys are criminals looking for Todd’s money. Jesse proposes to split the money he found in three parts and makes the deal. Then he looks for Ed (Roberto Foster) to go to Alaska, but he does not have enough money. He makes attempt with his parents but ends up confronting the two thieves. “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” (2019) is a feature that shows the fate of Jesse Pinkman, and closures to several characters, like Skinny, Badger, Mr. & Mrs. Pinkman and Ed. The plot is full of action and flashbacks of missing scenes in “Breaking Bad”, like how Todd treated Jesse like a pet. Or details of the treatment he received in Jake’s facility from other gangsters. His encounter with Ed recalls how he did not embark in the red van. Unfortunately, the artists are older and Todd in addition is fatter, but anyway it was possible to use the same cast in new scenes. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “El Camino: Um Filme de Breaking Bad” (“El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Anthony S Not too shabby!! Pretty awesome closure after everything Jesse endured. Loved the way Skinny and Badger helped out their buddy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Jake S Great movie to finish of the series Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Audience Member El Camino did a wonderful job keeping me engaged and expanding on the Breaking Bad universe. We got more insight on Jesse and how his story closed. We also got to see more of his personal side and the situations he endured. The film was not bloated whatsoever making it a relatively easy watch. The pacing was also up to par as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Audience Member yo jesse what you did to invincible was not cool man. you also burned to a crisp your whole family bro 😭😭and you STILL blaming him????? i think the blue meth got to you man Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
