Prison Break: The Final Break DVD: Review By MutantFairy

This movie went straight to video so I thought when they went with the "women's prison" angle there would be some nudity but I was wrong. Not even some backsides. So many missed opportunities, even though this movie was made to be aired on TV, they still could have at least shown us Jodi Lyn O'Keefe in her underwear. Gretchen has those nasty scars on her back; they could have reminded us of those things in a more sexy way. Instead they just had her in a towel, a big loose-fitting towel; they didn't even show us her legs. She really needs to be in more movies. They didn't even show Sara in a towel in the shower room. It was a big disappointment in that regard.

It's a crazy movie that seems to take place over the course of 3 days. Michael makes a plan to break her out & something goes wrong. That's what I want to see when I watch Prison Break & this movie delivers. It's a hastily thrown together plan so it isn't as convoluted as previous seasons but it's still a good movie, mostly because we get to see Sara be more active. It's too bad we don't see more of Gretchen beating the crap out of girls. The little we did see was good. This movie references a bunch of stuff from the 1st season which was unexpected & I thought that was great. It also used some things from later seasons that I forgot about in order to give us a women's prison story. There is a female t-bag type character but I don't think they handled her very well. Her motivation wasn't clear for awhile, she could have been written better.

I know some people wanted this show to end after the 1st season but I enjoy heist movies & that's what this series was, one heist after another & I never got tired of it. I think it was a better Series Finale than what was aired on TV. I recommend it to fans.
