Those who saw the show's series finale knows that Michael Scofield dies. Prison Break: The Final Break shows us the events that lead up to and including Michael's death. Although this 2 hour movie is actually surprisingly fairly light on action, it's high on tension and suspense and emotion. I loved every second of this movie and I think a lot of fans will be pleased that this very much has an old school Prison Break feel to it even though unlike season 1, where Michael was trying to break himself and his brother out, this time he's on the outside trying to break his beloved and pregnant Sara out. The result is a fast paced, exciting and emotion filled adventure full of twists and the movie's touching coda. Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, William Fichtner, Sarah Wayne Callies and the rest of the gang all do their usual solid work although this mostly Miller and Callie's show. I was kind of surprised that Purcell doesn't have as much to do this time. Michael's sacrifice was done well and was moving. This to me was the REAL series finale of the show. So thanks to the Prison Break producers/writers, etc. for 4 amazing years. I will miss this show as it has definitely become one of my all time favorites. It's nice to see that the show is able to go out on a high note as I really loved this movie.

Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) marries Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) on the beach. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) are witnesses. The police breaks up the celebration by arresting Sara for the murder of Christina Hampton. She had killed Hampton to save Michael. She is locked up in Miami prison instead of jail while waiting for trial. The guards are abusive for what happened in Fox River. Daddy (Lori Petty) is the head of the prison gang. T-Bag Bagwell (Robert Knepper) and General Jonathan Krantz (Leon Russom) are prisoners in the men's side. Krantz puts out $100k for a contract on Sara and Gretchen Morgan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) happens to be in the same prison. Cowler (Aisha Hinds) is a stand up guard. Alex Mahone (William Fichtner) is refused reinstatement back into the FBI but Agent Richard Sullins (Kim Coates) dangles the badge if Alex rats out Michael and his inevitable attempt to break out his wife.

The movie is forced to jerry-rig the situation to bring it back to step 1 with several old characters conveniently in the same prison. It's got the Orange is the new Black vibe. The women's prison is good. There is one good twist but the escape isn't quite as compelling as the first original season. The movie simply doesn't have enough time to set up the escape attempt for the audience. There is the same familiar gang back together again. That's great for fans of the show.
