I miss PRISON BREAK.  I know the show stayed for too long.  It was bound to be a good concept for two or maybe even three seasons.  However, it lasted four.  It was an enjoyable series.  I do feel a little miffed on why PRISON BREAK: THE FINAL BREAK wasn't aired as the finale of the series instead of the series finale that aired.   THE FINAL BREAK is a better coda to a series that could get a little over-the-top and somehow make it seem entertaining.   PRISON BREAK was a greta concept and the DVD movie or what I consider the true series finale leaves me sad.

THE FINAL BREAK starts with the marriage between Michael and Sara.  Then the FBI come to arrest Sara for the murder of Michael's and Linc's evil Mom.   Cue evil FBI agent who doesn't have a clue and a government who can't lift their hands to clear Sara of this mess when they know she didn't murder Mike's and Linc's mom (and they couldn't bother to inform the state of Florida of it).  Then again, PRISON BREAK sometimes defies logic to get a plot going and have Michael think of a plan to break Sara out because the General has put a contract on Sara.  THE FINAL BREAK does explain how we get to the final moment in the final episode that aired on TV.    The DVD movie is a little bitter because it is the last we see our favorite PRISON BREAK characters together as one of them makes the ultimate sacrifice.  Still I love seeing it. 

The DVD has two deleted scenes that got cut for pacing and yet the second one is an interetsing Mahone scene.  I do wish they had an audio commentary for this movie.
