The question of
what happened to Jesse Pinkman at the end of Breaking Bad is finally answered
in this movie. This follow-up feels like watching two intense episodes of Breaking
Bad back-to-back. It has the same ruthless vibe, and the story carries the
familiar, flawed yet compelling Jesse we’ve come to know.
What I liked
about the movie was seeing how Jesse initially tried to set things right, only
to stumble over his inability to make the tough decisions when it mattered
most. We also get to see a few familiar characters, including Walter White, in
flashbacks.
I’ve always
loved the Breaking Bad series, and I agree with most people who consider it one
of the best TV shows ever made. This movie provides the closure we needed for
Jesse’s story, adding a satisfying chapter to his journey.
At the end of
the series, Jesse is finally free. Walter White, as we recall, played a crucial
role in ensuring Jesse’s escape. Jesse had been held captive, his will broken,
and forced to cook meth for his captors. From the flashbacks, we see how his
spirit was crushed, leaving him unable to even attempt an escape on his own.
In the final
episodes of Breaking Bad, Walter comes to terms with the damage his choices
have caused and the pain inflicted on those around him. He tries to make amends
by securing his family’s financial future and, ultimately, by sacrificing
himself to save Jesse. After Walter’s death, Jesse escapes the scene of the
massacre in an El Camino, covered in the blood and chaos of his captors. This
is where the movie begins.
Jesse drives the
El Camino to his friends’ house, where he stays for a day before calling an old
contact to help him get rid of the car. Things take a turn when they discover
the car’s GPS had been activated, leading the police straight to him. With the help
of his friends, Jesse decides to track down one of his former captors in search
of a hidden stash. His plan is to use the money to pay for a new identity and
start fresh.
This journey is
what the movie takes us through.
The film is
written, produced, and directed by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad.
If you were a fan of the series, I highly recommend watching this movie to put
a definitive end to the story we all loved.
