Review of Prison Break: The Final Break (2009) by Gena D — 02 Jan 2011

More Prison Break...which is never a bad thing. A nice end to the series, although it is pretty weird watching this after seeing the end of the series in season 4 (and to be honest, season 4's ending was so good, I liked the way it handled the ending much better than the Final Break did).

That aside, this is still very entertaining, and like I said, a nice conclusion to the series. However, it's obviously rushed because this was probably supposed to be the main storyline of the 5th season, which never occurred because the show was cancelled after the 4th season.

What I don't understand is the subject matter itself...when I heard that there was a wrap-up film for the series, I figured it would have to do with the Paul Kellerman angle, explaining where he and the other major characters he had been working with for the duration of the 3rd and 4th seasons had been up to.

His appearance at the end of season 4 (though enjoyable because Kellerman was my favorite character in the series and I thought he was dead) was totally out of left field, and I'm guessing I wasn't the only one who wanted an explanation for what he had been doing when everyone thought he was dead.

One more issue I had with The Final Break is that the setup is pretty half-assed...the charges against Sarah are stupid and weren't made apparent in season 4, which is when this woud have happened.

..telling fans that there was a loose end when everything was over isn't fair, to say the least.
