Jimmy Gets Closer To His Saul ‘Fall’AMCA review of tonight’s Better Call Saul coming up just as soon as I join you at chair yoga…“I can’t be partners with someone whose judgment I don’t trust.” - Howard. We knew that sooner or later, warm- hearted eldercare attorney Jimmy Mc. Gill would become cold- blooded defense lawyer Saul Goodman. The what has never been question; Better Call Saul has instead been playing with the when, why, and how of it. And what we’ve seen across season three is that Jimmy’s moral descent — like that of his most famous future client — isn’t a matter of just one event, one huge decision, but a series of incremental incidents and choices that slowly, painfully transform the guy we root for into the guy we enjoyed but were appalled by.

Recent episodes have slowly but surely separated Jimmy from the people and things that were keeping him on the good path. He and Chuck went to war, and after Jimmy won, he wanted nothing more to do with the brother whom he’d always tried to impress. The short- term suspension has separated him from the clients he felt such empathy for, as well as the steady income that protected him from the temptation to con again. Jimmy’s prideful insistence on not taking handouts (another trait he holds in common with Walter White) has forced him to relentlessly hustle in a manner that has driven a wedge between himself and Kim — who, with Chuck out of the picture, is Jimmy’s last tether to any desire to do things the right way — as has her insistence on taking on more work, whether out of fear Jimmy can’t hold up his end of the expense, a need to take more control over her life, or a simple desire to have a client (mostly) untainted by the feud between the brothers Mc. Gill. Jimmy is isolated and he is desperate, which is a very bad combination for a man inclined to take shortcuts, legal or otherwise, whenever possible. Even with the matter of his ad buy at the TV station resolved thanks to his Slippin’ Jimmy stunt last week, he still needs money, and it seemed only a matter of time before he would remember that he was due for a huge payday from the Sandpiper case. We haven’t really heard about Sandpiper since Jimmy quit the Davis and Main job last season, but that potential windfall has been hanging out there in Jimmy’s future since he brought the case to HHM.

"It was the spirit of it -- the spirit of the exquisite romantic pain. The idea that the mere touching of a woman's hand would suffice. The idea that seeing her.

As season 3 of "Better Call Saul" nears its end, everyone is a little frayed and desperate. A western love story revolving around the forbidden love between a young widow from a Mennonite-like religious group and a cold-blooded gunslinger whom she takes into.

That amount of money — $1. Jimmy’s mental math at the end of the opening sequence — is big enough that the show had to deploy it at just the right moment, and in just the right way. If Clifford Main were to simply call Jimmy out of the blue and reluctantly tell him his check was in the mail, that would have no dramatic weight, and would also make Jimmy so financially comfortable that there might not be much of story for him for quite some time. By making him literally hustle for it — cruelly isolating class representative Irene Landry from all her friends at the retirement home to manipulate her into pushing for an earlier and smaller settlement(*) — the story becomes less about what the money can do for Jimmy than what Jimmy does for the money, and the moral depths to which he’ll sink to pursue his own ends. He does nothing illegal here, and perhaps once Irene agrees to settle, fences can be mended with her neighbors. But Jimmy knows this is wrong. You can see it on his face as he prepares to swap out the usual bingo balls for the ones he doctored to match Irene’s card(**): he pauses for just a moment, considering how sad and lonely Irene looks, before doing it anyway, because he needs her to change her mind for his own sake.(*) As Howard points out, Jimmy is motivated by self- interest, but it’s unclear if he’s right when he says that the difference in payout to the plaintiffs would be negligible, and that the two law firms are dragging this out just to pad their own bottom lines while preventing a group of elderly people from getting access to the money while they can still do something with it.

Both things — Jimmy needing cash ASAP, and the two law firms delaying things more for their own sake than for that of their clients — can be true, and it leaves a little moral wiggle room to what Jimmy does to the class as a whole, even if there’s no excusing the misery he inflicts on Irene.(**) Better Call Saul: a show filled with murderous drug kingpins and ruthless con artists, yet where one of the darkest moments of the entire series can involve an old woman failing to get any applause when she wins at bingo.

Lots of shows can make you choke up when somebody dies; few could make something that small seem so big.

Jimmy is hanging by a very thin thread in “Fall,” but so are most of the show’s major characters, who are trying to go it alone in desperate circumstances, and suffering as a result. When Hector refuses to accept Don Eladio’s order for all drug smuggling to run through Gus’s operation — and when the fake pills have enough of a placebo effect to quell the angry old man’s latest heart episode — Nacho finds himself with no choice but to warn his father what’s coming, and to confess that he’s working for the Salamancas again. The “again,” and the way that Michael Mando plays Nacho’s shame at the admission (along with the disappointment on Juan Carlos Cantu’s face as Mr.

Varga assimilates this new information), tells us all we need to know about the history between father and son, and the very passionate fight they must have once had about Nacho associating with such scum. And what’s particularly brutal about the scene, beyond how drawn and tired and afraid Nacho looks, is that he may have confessed this, and gotten himself kicked out of his father’s home, for nothing, because he can’t get Mr. Varga to agree to trust him and stay calm when Hector and his people approach him.

Nacho insists this will all be over with in a few weeks, and the condition that Hector is in during the Heisenberg years suggests some kind of medical mishap is coming, but will it come fast enough to save the upholstery business and Nacho’s dad? The disbarment hearing, meanwhile, continues to create aftershocks for Chuck and Howard. Jimmy’s stunt with the malpractice insurance agent doesn’t get Chuck’s coverage pulled, but it makes HHM’s premiums so onerous that they might as well have, which leads Howard to try to push his mentor and partner into finally retiring.

The Cold-Blooded Torture trope as used in popular culture. Torture. Sure, some characters gloat until their victims are rescued. But some gloat and torture. A new friendship is waiting for our heroine when she wakes up: Anja is as warm and outgoing as Thelma is cold and enclosed, but there’s an immediate attraction.

The Merciless' review Hollywood Reporter. This has been a bumper Cannes festival for South Korean cinema, with five features playing across the official selection, two in the genre- friendly Midnight Screenings slot that helped springboard Yeon Sang- Ho's zombie apocalypse thriller Train To Busan to commercial and critical success last year. One of this year's late- night premieres, The Merciless (Bulhandang) is a superior slice of hardboiled pulp fiction in the blossoming "Korean Noir" style. Byun Sung- Hyun's violent underworld saga brings little new to the genre, but its reliable cast, slick visuals and testosterone- drenched mood should draw a readymade global audience of Asian action fanboys.

Launched in domestic theaters last week, with a French release scheduled for next month, the production announced sales to 8. Cannes launch. Set in the coastal city of Busan, the pic begins with a wry exchange between a pair of squeamish junior mobsters drawing parallels between eating seafood and committing cold- blooded murder. This darkly comic vignette seems to promise a more arch, knowing, Tarantino- esque take on the gangster genre.

But the plot soon settles into a more familiar mix of supercharged machismo, casual sadism, one- dimensional characters and profanity- peppered dialogue spiced with misogyny and homophobia. Indeed, the film's domestic launch suffered boycott threats after Byun was called out for making sexist comments on Twitter, prompting him to make a public apology. Feeling at times like a Korean- language cousin of Martin Scorsese's The Departed, which was itself a remake of an Asian crime thriller, The Merciless revolves around a generation- spanning bromance between youthful wannabe gangster Jo Hyun- su (boyishly pretty K- pop music star Yim Si- Wan) and genial but notoriously amoral gangland veteran Han Jae- ho (Sul Kyung- Gu). This odd couple first forge a brotherly bond in prison after backing each other up in a string of brutal confrontations with bad- ass rivals and crooked guards. On the surface, Hyun- su is an insolent young punk trying to pick a fight with anybody who crosses his path.

But flashbacks reveal him to be a hotshot cop placed deep undercover inside the jail by his ruthless female police chief Cheon (Jeon Hye- jin), who is playing a long game to infiltrate a massive drug- smuggling operation run by Jae- ho's paranoid crime boss, Chairman Ko Byung- gab (Kim Hie- Won). After winning his trust in jail, Hyun- su later joins Jae- ho as a foot soldier in Ko's underworld empire, which is already lousy with lingering grudges and volatile rivalries. Restlessly jumping back and forth in time, The Merciless comes together like a jigsaw, each piece revealing more detail of a grand canvas full of risky shared secrets, fragile loyalties and Faustian bargains. In the process, the plot gradually gains in sophistication as initially sketchy characters acquire a little extra shading, and familiar tropes prove less predictable than they first appeared.

The cinematography is luscious and the action sequences impressively staged, especially a massive brawl in which the camera becomes a kinetic player in the fray, pinballing dizzily around the room. But in essence, Byun Sung- Hyun's gangster saga is still formally and dramatically conservative, sticking comfortably within genre conventions, shunning psychological complexity in favor of violence as aestheticized spectacle. The unspoken homoerotic tension between Hyun- su and Jae- ho, for example, is very vaguely teased but never honestly addressed.
