Movie review - "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" (2019) ***

Not bad. Not a masterpiece but enjoyable. Fun to see the old gang again like Bryan Cranston and Todd. I would've liked to have seen Skylar and Saul. There's not a lot of female roles. I thought they would have done more to the kid whose mother was killed. Lovely to see Robert Forster in what must have been his last role. The stuff with Todd was good. The gunslinging shoot out felt a little silly.

The film lacks a core relationship. Jesse and Todd isn't satisfying. I'm not sure what they could have done to be fair. Jesse and... a new person? New girl? Brock?I guess Brock was too old by then - the actor.

Another option could have been Skylar or Flynn or Marie. Jesse could have crossed with them getting money out of Walt's house or something. They could have kept the same structure just had him interacting with another character more.

It also lacked the black humour provided by Hank or Saul.

Still, entertaining.
