Disappointing
3 November 2019
On the whole, this spawn Breaking Bad was entertaining but not in a league with its parent (unlike Better Call Saul, which is even better than Breaking Bad). Where to begin? Don't bother to watch the recap; it's just a few minutes of disjointed outtakes from the original series, not a lead-in to the situation with which the movie opens. Unless you have an excellent memory for such things -- or just finished watching Breaking Bad -- you won't know why Jesse finds himself where he does, and you'll never learn. Characters from Breaking Bad are recycled, but their past relationship to Jesse is never made clear. There are a lot of back-and-forth time jumps that interrupt the main flow of action. After a lot of sound and fury there's a limp ending, which has the feel of a setup for another sequel. I'll pass.
