Storyline

Finally free from torture and slavery at the hands of Tod's uncle Jack, and from Mr. White, Jesse must escape demons from his past. He's on the run from a police manhunt, with his only hope of escape being Saul Goodman's hoover guy, Ed Galbraith. A man who for the right price, can give you a new identity and a fresh start. Jesse is racing against the clock, with help from his crew, avoiding capture to get enough money together to buy a 'new dust filter for his Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model', a new life.

Trivia

Following Breaking Bad (2008), actor Jesse Plemons put on weight for his roles in Black Mass (2015) and season 2 of Fargo (2014); hence his weight as Todd in "El Camino" greatly differs than his weight during the final season of "Breaking Bad".

Goofs

Despite being in a confined room with 30+ gunshots during the Kandy shootout, no one shows any sign of hearing loss or disorientation.

Quotes

[first lines]
Jesse: You know he's not gonna be happy.
Mike Ehrmantraut: No. I suspect he won't. Only you can decide what's best for you, Jesse. Not him, not me.
Jesse: I'm out.
[pause]
Jesse: So what are you gonna do with all that money?
Mike Ehrmantraut: Same thing I do with all the other money. How 'bout you, teenage retiree? You'll be livin' the dream.
Jesse: Not sure I should stick around town.
Mike Ehrmantraut: That's a start.
Jesse: Nothin' really keepin' me here. Where would you go? If you were me?

User Reviews

More of the same

For me this wat a bit of a flat movie. It is more of the same of breaking bad. Nice acting, nice scenes, some twists and humour. But I had no special feeling. Yes we know now what happend to Jesse, but did I really need to know? So the urgency to see this movie is not there for me. It is nice to know but nothing more.
