The final episode of Prison Break ended with a "4-Years Later" title card and a startling revelation in the final shot. It could have ended there, leaving the audience to wonder how everything happened that way but the creators of Prison Break opted to create this 88-minute movie to tie up those gaping plot holes and clarify all the fan's unanswered questions. Gaping plot holes was never a big deal for Prison Break, but it was a nice gesture...However, as I'll explain, I wish they would've done it just a little differently.
All the actor's/character's from the fourth season return for this, which takes place right before the four-year title card, but after the "ending" of the last episode. Without giving any details away, this film makes Sarah (Sarah Wayne Callies), the girlfriend of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), the main character. All the plot holes are covered up with events surrounding her...It does a fine job of filling us in on questions we may have, but my one complaint will go over the head's of some. Even as Prison Break grew more and more ludicrous, I found that it never lost its ability to excite and entertain. It was always a drama as it's core, hinging much of it's success on the love audiences had for it's characters, but few shows have made my heart race the way Prison Break did. This movie had 80-minutes to wrap up a series and seemed more of a way to just get everything out of the way than tell a story. The way that it favors dramatic elements over exciting elements would have made it one of the weaker episodes had it actually been a part of the fourth season.
For those reading this, keep in mind that this is intended only for those who have watched all four seasons including the series finale. This is not a stand-alone film and will make little or no sense to those with little or no familiarity with the series.
If you're a fan, this is essential viewing. That last shot of the series opens up a lot of questions and I'm sure you'll want to see what went down to cause that, but therein lies another problem. If you did watch that final episode, you'll notice a major lack-of-suspense due to the knowledge you have about the character this movie hinges on. It's that character that really eliminates all suspense, but all who have seen that final episode know the fate of all these characters. Yes, this shows how they got there but the knowledge we have makes everything a lot less effective.
At 88-minutes, it's obviously a bit simplified on top of everything else but there are moments that do contain a sort of dramatic poignancy, particularly the final scene which in it's own simple way brings more closure to the series than the actual ending did. As I said, this is essential viewing for fans of the series but hardly an essential release. I think everything from here could have been initially incorporated into the actual series, but perhaps done differently. With that said, The Final Break will clarify anything that had you scratching your head when that last episode faded to black...But you won't necessarily like it.

As a disclaimer, I've never seen the tv show. We rented this as a stand alone. The plot was trite and unbelievable, full of people doing things that no person would ever do. Plus the lame, cliched bull dikes on steroids routine in the "Bitchs' Wing" of the prison. Even fast forwarding through much of the appalling dialogue wasn't enough to keep this show painfully dragging for what seemed hours.
Rating: -
This is a prison break movie.It was good but the show was much better.It basically answers questions that were left unanswered in season four.
Rating:  -
love this show! love the way it ties everything together and answers all my lingering questions from season 4.

I really enjoyed this film. As a deployed soldier there isnt too much to do so watching this entire series was something fun to do in off time. This film definately helped fill in certain pieces of the puzzle towards the end of the final episode of the final season. Again a good watch and great for something to do in off time.
