I see no real need to watch it other than pure curiosity. However, it's honestly a bit of a letdown. There are redeeming qualities, such as Michael's romantic sacrifice when he gives up his life to help Sarah escape and Mahone's inner conflict between regaining his career and staying loyal to his ally and friend, Michael, which (combined with the acting-these people could even make a cereal commercial suspenseful and exciting) is why this gets a 4 out of 10 instead of a 1. 4) The chief flaw is that this is basically just a watered-down, sloppy version of the season one plot (Michael tries to break a loved one out of jail, only this time, it's his wife instead of his brother Lincoln). A definite downgrade from the phenomenally villainous T-Bag and Gretchen. 3) The gang boss in the women's jail, "Daddy", comes across more as a high school dork than a dangerous felon. 2) The challenge Michael faces in getting Sarah out of Miami-dade prison does not even compare to his previous escapes from Fox River and Sona.

This movie suffers from the following flaws 1) The entire premise of it (Sarah only being 99% exonerated) does not make any sense in context with the ending of Season 4. But The Final Break will ruin everything loved about the show and destroy that perfect, yet sad, ending they gave it.

But this ending just tried to mimic that with very bad results! The TV switch off thing at the end was ridiculous, and left you thinking "what the hell was that?!" I love every season of Prison Break, it was one of the best shows on TV and I'm sad to see it leave. I thought the actual ending of PB was perfect and very emotional.

This isn't a show thats meant to be squashed into 80 minutes. The main characters all had a chance to grow and develop over the course of the four seasons, but the writers made these new characters act as if we've known them the whole time. The woman t-bag wannabe was so unconvincing. But this felt like it had been written up in 30 seconds! Oh yeah just set off a fire alarm, create a diversion outside and sneak in.genius, no one can fool that plan! The characters of the womens prison were just completely pointless.

The amount of work Michael put into his plan of breaking Lincoln out was brilliant and the way parts of his plan came together was what really made season one a great series. I really wish I never watched this! Appently it was supposed to answer all the remaining questions, but what questions? The only ones I can think of was how Michael died (which was better when you thought it was because of his illness), and how the hell Kellerman became a congressman after what he admitted to! For me, it made a mockery of season one. I recommend this to fans of Prison Break. I commented on the acting in my review of the show itself, and it is the same in this. Production values leave nothing to be desired. The pacing is spot-on, and this is rather exciting and engaging from start to finish. Among the greatest new things of this is Lori Petty's performance, which nails the type with flawless precision. This does use an unexpected turn, and gives us more of what was always the best in the series. You don't *need* to watch this, and the way things are left off before it is a fine close to the franchise. The noteworthy thing to this is that it picks up after what sure looked like the ending, and actually does credibly at not only keeping the story going for an additional 80 minutes, but creating new conflicts(and re-igniting ones we already know and like). At this point, they also resorted to a rather see-through, forced and awkward way of keeping the many characters, that we've grown to care about, together. I think it built up the overall conspiracy too much, and then kept going with a lot of the most interesting plot threads already resolved.

meaning that there is still excellent tension, well-thought out plans and plenty of back-stabbing, however, it remains undeniable that this is past its prime. This is about the same level of quality as the rest of the fourth season. For those who are unsure what exactly this is, this is the last two episodes, that I understand not all were fortunate enough to have air where they could catch them, and instead had to get this on DVD to get to see the finale.
