Judy Berman of Time called his portrayal "mesmerizing", citing Paul's ease at "fully re-inhabiting a role he hadn't played for years endowing Jesse with the same mix of (waning) goofiness and (escalating) existential terror that propelled him through the finale". [177] Many critics predicted that Paul and Plemons would be respectively nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for their roles in the film, but both actors were left off when the nominees were announced. Charles Baker reprised the role in the public's first glimpse of the film. Jesse also calls Walt a "homo" a few times in the first few seasons. It is important that this show delivers a very strong anti-drug message by showing the negative side effects of drugs. He lies down in the meth lab to die, alone.What we know about the movie I don t intend to do anything further, Vince Gilligan said in a recent . Breaking Bad shows the consequences of pervasive drug use. His rear end is shown. 31 uses of fuck, 17 uses in season one between 1-6 uses per episode, 2 uses in season 2, 2 uses in season 3, 5 uses in season 4(2 are heard in a rap song in the background of a scene) and 5 uses in season 5(one is written on piece of paper and the other is heard from a movie Walt watches with his son) the rest are all said and muttered, occasionally shouted by characters in the show. Lou reports finding an old note from Todd, and Casey distracts him by feigning interest. This can be frightening. A mans hands are tied behind him using a telephone cord and what looks like a sock is shoved in his mouth as a gag; the man bites the finger of the man gagging him. For this reason, Gilligan created the character Neil Kandy, who he labeled "Nazi-adjacent" due to his prior business dealings with the gang. [174][175][176], For the 72nd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, El Camino received four nominations: Outstanding Television Movie, Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited Series or Movie, and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special. Middle fingers are seen a few times throughout the show. Please try again later. [47] Gilligan reaffirmed he had no plans for any new entries in the franchise shortly before Better Call Saul concluded. The show is pretty violent but most of it isn't particularly graphic and is just shootings with a little bit of blood shown. Some injury, blood and severed body parts can be seen very briefly. A man digs a hole in the desert and he and another man bury a womans body in it. A man is shown snorting cocaine and holding a mirror with several lines, two men smoke a marijuana cigarette and offer it to a third man (he declines), we see a pill vial on a floor (its an unidentified drug), and a man makes reference to smoking a fat bowl. A man drinks a beer, a man suggests getting a six-pack, and a few men are shown holding bottles of beer. Written and directed by "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan, starring Aaron Paul. The whole plot of the show revolves around a business dealing in methamphetamine. Real meth recipes were used in the early seasons. [13] Gilligan had the idea of shooting in the region after multiple helicopter trips between California and Albuquerque, noting the landscape for its natural beauty. Netflix Though El Camino does not shy away from the brutality of that time and the PTSD it has given Jesse, it does end with a moment of positivity for Jesse and Walt, made all the more. The film opens with a flashback. Josh Spiegel of /Film wrote that "if you loved Breaking Bad you might have wondered, 'What will happen to Jesse Pinkman next?' The crew delivered footage with requested color changes to on-site FotoKem members, who then applied the changes to get the dailies out fairly quickly for Adams' review. Even for a crime drama. Jesse is chained up and is forced to cook meth for neo-Nazi's. El Camino's unspecified budget surpassed the $6million budget per episode by the end of the show's final season. [152], On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie holds an approval rating of 92% based on 131 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. A mans jacket pocket is shown with a flame burning in the pocket after he shoots a gun through the pocket (he puts out the flame). Season 5 is the least violent season as it focuses more on tension, characters and suspense, but still contains grisly images of the after math of violence/crime scenes, a brutal prison stabbing montage and an intense bloody shootout in the finale and some other tamer acts of violence. We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits. If you are a Breaking Bad fan, did this movie meet your expectations? There are 7 total sex scenes (all brief) with occasional male buttocks shown. Not graphic but very upsetting. A man shoots another man in the head and blood splatters (we see the bloody bullet hole) as the man falls through a glass window. [18], Gilligan would keep the Better Call Saul writers room involved throughout El Camino's production, including during the writing process. [126][127] Upon the countdown's conclusion, a video showed of Huell leaving the safe house. Walt stands fully nude in a store. Moderate to strong violence throughout some instances are pretty graphic. Despite resulting in a continuity error, Gilligan said he did not have the heart to clean Walt's bloody handprint from the prop and instead left it in as an intentional Easter egg for fans. See ratings & reviews at Critics.com. A man is shown with a bloody face and with scars in a few scenes. [117] A full trailer premiered on September 24, 2019, which gave viewers their first full look of clips from El Camino accompanied by the song "Black Water" by Reuben and the Dark. This might be emotionally tense and disturbing. Several men search an apartment and we see it in shambles. This version ended with Jesse in a jail cell in the concluding scene, imprisoned yet at peace for the first time. [18][28] They also objected to this ending because they planned on using a similar idea for the series finale of Better Call Saul, which was still to come many years later, and felt this conclusion fit their story better than Jesse's.
